It’s cozy season, and cozy season isn’t complete without hot chocolate. Plain hot chocolate can get boring if you’re just doing the standard hot cocoa packets where you heat up a mug of milk or water and add the packet of hot cocoa. 

There are easy ways to spice up a mug of hot chocolate by adding in simple flavors that can really transform a cup of hot cocoa. Some add-ons you can try are a splash of vanilla extract. Adding vanilla will round out the hot chocolate and add a nice sweetness to your drink. 

You can also add a couple shakes of cinnamon, or nutmeg to your hot chocolate to give it a more savory taste. These spices can make the drink feel even cozier and even warmer, especially on a cold day!
