I like it with less cinnamon, more chili powder, and half the sugar. Be sure not to use chili powder that contains garlic, salt, and oregano!
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces
1/4 cup minus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon dutched cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon, plus additional to taste good quality chili powder
1/8 teaspoon ceylon cinnamon
generous dash finely ground black pepper
Preparation Instructions:
In a heavy duty small saucepan, or saucier, over medium low to medium heat, combine milk, sugar and bittersweet chocolate. Simmer, stirring constantly until almost to a boil. Add cocoa powders, chili powder, cinnamon and pepper. Bring to a rolling boil for one minute. Remove from heat, pour into mug, and top with additional chili powder to taste. Enjoy!
