Notes
- Cardamom: Freshly ground cardamom from 1 green pod gives the brightest flavor, but 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom works too.
- Cacao swap: Unsweetened cocoa powder can be used in place of cacao powder. The flavor will be a little milder.
- Milk: Any dairy or plant-based milk works. Unsweetened vanilla almond, oat, and coconut milk are all great here.
- Sweetener: Any liquid sweetener can replace the maple syrup.
