Notes
- oat milk: can use any unsweetened dairy free milk like almond milk,.. etc but I find oat milk to be the best for flavour and creaminess
- coconut milk: can be substituted with all plant milk just won't be as creamy
- gluten free: some oat milk isn't gluten free so check the label! or use a different plant milk
- For boozy spiked cocoa: add a shot of your favourite holiday booze like brandy, tequila or peppermint schnapps,…etc ! Heavenly! -(stir in after drink has been prepared)
