Notes
If the hot chocolate isn't warm enough after blending add it back into the saucepan to reheat gently (Don't overheat to avoid cooking the chocolate and burning off the alcohol)
It's meant to be thicker than a normal hot chocolate by the additon of eggnog ingredients but If it's still too thick after blending add plantbased milk until desired consistency.
