Ingredients
- 2 cups Milk
- 3 ounces, fluid Semisweet Chocolate, Chopped Into Small Pieces
- 1 Tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 drops Almond Extract
- ⅛ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- Whipped Cream And Extra Cinnamon, For Topping
Preparation
In a medium sauce pan combine the milk, chocolate, cocoa, sugar, cinnamon and almond extract. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until everything seems like it’s incorporated. Take it off the stove and add cayenne pepper. I think 1/8 teaspoon is the perfect amount for just the right bit of spice but if you are nervous, just do a simple pinch!
Top it with some whipped cream and sprinkle some extra cinnamon on top.
