Median for forecasting in time series

I have a time series about demand of a product with many zeros.

I was reading the forecasting book by Hyndman and Athanasopoulos [1] (section 2.3), which mentioned the average method for forecasting time series.

I was wondering if is it possible to use a median method for forecasting time series?
