  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your hot chocolate is up to you. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can also use other sweeteners, such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
  • Use peppermint extract or candy canes: Peppermint extract or candy canes will give your hot chocolate a festive, minty flavor. You can also use other flavorings, such as vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
  • Top with whipped cream: Whipped cream is the perfect topping for peppermint hot chocolate. It adds a light and fluffy texture and a touch of sweetness.
