SIMPLE HOT COCOA FOR ONE
As with hot chocolate, use any milky liquid you prefer, whether it's from a cow, nuts (almond milk), beans (soy milk), or grains (rice milk). For sweeteners, feel free to substitute maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar for sugar, but start with less, about 1 tablespoon, and taste the combination before adding more.

Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder: For the best flavor, choose a cocoa powder that is 100% cacao and unsweetened.
- Don't overheat the milk: When heating the milk, be sure to keep it below a simmer. Overheating can cause the milk to scorch and give the cocoa a burnt flavor.
- Add your sweetener of choice: This recipe calls for sugar, but you can use any sweetener you like, such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
- Flavor your cocoa with spices: For a more complex flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to your cocoa.
- Top with your favorite toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate chips, or candy canes are all great options.
