Simmer, don’t boil: Heat the mixture gently over medium heat. Avoid boiling, as it can cause the milk to curdle and result in a less creamy texture.
Whisk vigorously: Whisk the hot chocolate mixture continuously while adding ingredients. This ensures a smooth, lump-free texture.
Adjust to taste: Feel free to adjust the amount of pumpkin spice powder and maple syrup according to your taste.
