For an even richer flavor, try using dark cocoa powder. A splash of peppermint extract adds a festive touch during the holidays. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant presentation. Consider using a milk frother to make the milk extra foamy before adding it to the cocoa mixture for a café-style beverage.
