About five years ago I discovered this recipe in a Kroger coupon book honoring Mexican heritage. I immediately prepared it, but hubby really didn't take to it. My oldest son likes it, and my middle son will only very rarely drink it. I like to make it when it is really cold outside, or when I have a head cold. The cayenne pepper will really open you up.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup plus 2 tbs. sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tbs. cocoa powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 cayenne pepper
1/4 cup hot water
4 cups milk
1/2 oz. high quality unsweetened chocolate finely chopped. (Optional)
Instructions:
In a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat, whisk together sugar, cocoa, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne with the hot water to make a paste. Slowly whisk in the milk. Heat the milk gently until it is steaming hot but not boiling. Whisk in the chopped chocolate, if using. Pour into mugs. Refrigerate any leftovers. Serves 4
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:6
