Ingredients:

250ml coconut milk
3 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp freshly-grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp dark cocoa powder
120ml whole milk

Method:

Combine the brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and cocoa powder in the base of a mug. In the meantime, combine the coconut milk and whole milk together in a saucepan. Bring to the scalding point (where small bubbles rise all the way around the rim of the liquid — do not boil) then pour a little of the milk over the contents of the mug.

Stir to dissolve all the ingredients then add the remainder of the milk and stir thoroughly to combine.
