This chili powder and cinnamon hot chocolate is sure to warm you up !!!! So if you are experiencing cold, snow, and stereotypical winter weather give this a try.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons cocoa powder or 3 oz bittersweet chocolate  + 1-2 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
           - OR- 3 tablespoons instant hot chocolate mix
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch chili powder
1/4 cup soy milk or milk
3/4 boiling water or hot milk

How to:

Put cocoa, syrup, cinnamon, chili, and 1/4 cup milk into large mug. Add boiling water or hot milk. Stir.

*Instead of the 1/4 cup milk or water add coffee.

“That’s all,”

    I’ve never had spicy cocoa before and we make homemade cocoa all the time. I’m going to try this right now!

    I have to have cold weather to enjoy this? I think not. 32 degrees celsius today and probably as warm now in the evening. Nothing’s going to stop me heading to the pantry right about now…. thanks for sharing the recipe. xx

    Mmmm. Thanks for the idea. I used cayenne, cinnamon, cocoa powder, raw sugar, and organic milk. Just the thing to warm up after sledding!
