For an extra layer of richness, try using half-and-half or heavy cream in place of some of the milk. Adjust the amount of peppermint extract to your liking. A little goes a long way! For a vegan version, use your favorite plant-based milk and ensure your cocoa mix is dairy-free. If you don't have peppermint extract, you can infuse the milk with a few fresh mint leaves for a more subtle mint flavor. Remove the leaves before serving.
