Notes

Milk

You can use your milk of choice, but I have only tested this recipe using whole milk and almond milk.

Dark Chocolate

I recommend using a good quality chocolate. I used Callebaut 54.5% dark chocolate in the form of small chips. If you are using a block of chocolate, chop it for easier melting.

Cinnamon

I'll occasionally add cinnamon to this recipe. It adds warmth and rounds out the flavor nicely.
