The Aztecs were the first to serve chocolate as a drink, but they also mixed it with hot chili pepper to make a really special beverage. Try something exotic with your hot chocolate today. You can always reduce the amount of chili if it's too hot for you.
Ingredients:
- 1 2/3 cups milk
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1 red chili pepper, split with seeds removed
- 1 cinnamon stick, around 3-4"
- 1 1/2 oz chocolate (bittersweet)
Preparation:
Simmer milk in a saucepan with vanilla bean, cinnamon and chili. Heat through for about a minute. Whisk in grated chocolate, and continue to simmer until melted. Remove from heat and let 'steep' for another 10 minutes. Strain out the spices and serve. Serves 2.
