Notes
- You can use any chocolate of your choice: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, peppermint chocolate--you name it!
- If you don't have chocolate on hand, cocoa powder will work. You may need to adjust the sweetness accordingly.
- Milk substitutes will also work. However, not all milk alternatives froth well. I recommend using Oatly's Barista Edition if you want a frothy cuppa.
