Notes
Use whole milk for the creamiest texture, but you can use any milk you prefer.
• Gently heat the milk to avoid scalding, which can affect the taste.
• Whisk the cocoa powder and sugar with a small amount of milk first to create a paste for a smoother mix.
• Adjust the amount of RumChata based on your preference for alcohol strength.
• Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or chocolate shavings for an extra treat.
