You can prepare a delicious variation of this recipe by replacing the milk with about 100 grams of chocolate to be melted in a double boiler. The process is as follows:

1. Boil water in a saucepan, then place a small saucepan with chocolate cut into small pieces on top (there should never be direct contact between chocolate and boiling water), stirring gently until completely melted.

2. Prepare the coffee, pour it into another pot adding spices such as vanilla, cinnamon or dried orange. Stir and simmer for a few minutes without coming to a boil.

3. Whip the cream

4. Serve by pouring the melted chocolate into the cups first, then the coffee (using a kitchen strainer to leach out the spice residue)

5. Finish by adding whipped cream and possibly some other decorations as desired
