As with hot chocolate, use any milky liquid you prefer, whether it's from a cow, nuts (almond milk), beans (soy milk), or grains (rice milk). For sweeteners, feel free to substitute maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar for sugar, but start with less, about 1 tablespoon, and taste the combination before adding more.

Tips for the Perfect Single-Serving Cocoa:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: Opt for a cocoa powder labeled "unsweetened" or "natural" to ensure a rich and authentic cocoa flavor.
  • Choose the right milk: Whole milk or 2% milk will create a creamy and indulgent cocoa, while skim or almond milk can provide a lighter option.
  • Sweeten to taste: Start with a small amount of sugar or sweetener and adjust to your desired sweetness level.
  • Add a pinch of salt: A small pinch of salt can help to balance the sweetness of the cocoa and enhance its flavor.
  • Garnish with flair: A sprinkle of cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, or a dollop of whipped cream can add an extra touch of indulgence to your cocoa.
