Use non-dairy milk. For a nut-free option, use coconut milk or oat milk. Almond milk and macadamia nut milk also work well.
Melted coconut oil is moisturizing and a healthy fat. Alternatively, you can use melted vegan butter or olive oil.
A little vanilla extract provides a cozy warmth. For a light almond taste, use almond extract.
