Notes

Expert Tips

  • Keep the temperature to medium-low to prevent the chocolate from burning at the bottom.
  • Use a whisk to mix the ingredients together as it's simmering.
  • Only simmer for a few minutes until the chocolate has melted.
  • Taste test before pouring into your mug to ensure its sweet enough for you!
  • If you're using coconut milk, I suggest trying light coconut milk in the can to avoid gums and fillers. It's usually only one ingredient!
