For a richer flavor, use Mexican chocolate (such as Abuelita or Ibarra) instead of regular chocolate syrup. Simply melt a small square of the chocolate with the milk before adding the boiling water. If you prefer a sweeter hot chocolate, add a touch of brown sugar or honey to taste. For a vegan option, use your favorite non-dairy milk and vegan chocolate syrup. Experiment with different spices! A pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cayenne pepper can add extra warmth and complexity. To make a larger batch, simply multiply the ingredients accordingly. This recipe is perfect for sharing with friends and family.
