For a richer flavor, try using full-fat milk or adding a tablespoon of coconut cream. Adjust the amount of stevia (or other sweetener) to your personal preference. A pinch of sea salt enhances the chocolate flavor. Experiment with other spices, such as nutmeg, cardamom, or chili powder, for a unique twist. For a vegan option, use your favorite plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk. If you don't have stevia, you can use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Cacao powder can be substituted with unsweetened cocoa powder. Cacao powder is less processed and has more nutrients.
