Is hot chocolate better with milk or water?

When it comes to hot chocolate recipes, I always prefer using milk to water. Milk makes this hot beverage tastier and richer in flavor.

Now, it does not mean you have to use milk. Water is a good alternative for those who are lactose-intolerant or vegan or those who want to cut down calories.

You can also use plant-based milk drinks such soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, if you like.
