Chocolate: 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder or 2 oz. cooled melted chocolate (mix in cooled melted chocolate; this will give a smoother texture than unsweetened cocoa powder)
Vanilla: ½ tsp. vanilla extract

Orange: ½ tbsp. orange juice with a little finely grated orange zest
Coffee: 1 heaped tbsp. instant coffee dissolved in ½ tsp. hot water
