For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt to the cocoa while it's heating. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher) will create a richer, more intense cocoa. Adjust the amount of crushed candy canes to your preference. If you prefer a more subtle peppermint flavor, use less. For a vegan version, substitute the milk with almond or soy milk and use vegan chocolate and whipped cream.
