The right dairy or plant drink makes hot cocoa creamy, balanced, and smooth without burying the cocoa flavor. Milk changes hot cocoa more than the cocoa powder does. Fat gives the drink body. Protein helps it feel round instead of watery. Natural milk sugar softens cocoa’s bitterness before you add any extra sweetener. For most
