- Sweeten to taste. The amount of sugar or sweetener you add to your hot cocoa is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Add spices for extra flavor. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add a warm, cozy flavor to your hot cocoa. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite blend.
- Top with whipped cream or marshmallows. Whipped cream or marshmallows are a classic way to top off a cup of hot cocoa. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess that makes the drink even more indulgent.
