Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of the cocoa powder you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cocoa. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a rich, dark color.
- Don't boil the milk: When you boil the milk, it can cause the cocoa to curdle. Instead, heat the milk until it is just below a simmer, then remove it from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder.
- Add a pinch of salt: A pinch of salt can help to balance out the sweetness of the cocoa and make the flavor more complex.
- Garnish with whipped cream or marshmallows: Whipped cream or marshmallows are a classic way to garnish cocoa. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess that makes the cocoa even more enjoyable.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can also use a variety of other toppings to garnish your cocoa, such as chocolate chips, cinnamon, or nutmeg. Get creative and have fun!
