Smooth and Silky Mexican Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

• 3 cups milk (read note 1)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla/almond extract (can choose which flavoring you prefer)
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate

Directions

1. Pour the milk in to a small saucepan.
2. Add in the cocoa powder (to help prevent clumps of cocoa powder, sift the powder before adding it in), ground cinnamon, chili powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Whisk all of the ingredients together. The cocoa powder takes some time to incorporate into the milk. Just keep whisking until it’s smooth.
4. Warm the mixture over medium/low heat. We don’t want to bring the milk to a boil, just to heat it through.
5. Once the milk is warmed, add in the semi-sweet chocolate and stir while the chocolate melts.
6. Remove from heat and carefully pour into mugs to serve.
7. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows.
8. Optional toppings: Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, chopped chocolate, an extra pinch of chili powder, or some flakey sea salt.

Notes

• Milk: this recipe calls for milk. You can use a combination of milk and cream for a thicker drink. Whole milk will make for a thicker drink than using 2% or 1% milk. Of course you can substitute and use any milk you prefer/have on hand.
• Chili Powder: this isn’t going to make the hot chocolate spicy. It adds a depth of flavor to the finished drink. If you would prefer, you can leave this ingredient out, or you can start with a lower amount, taste test, and add more to taste if desired.
• Separation: as the drink cools and is being enjoyed it’s possible that the chocolate will start to settle on the bottom of the mug. This is normal and occurs with homemade hot chocolates. Which is why they are typically served with a spoon or stirring stick to continue to stir while enjoying. 
• Storing/reheating: if you end up with some leftover, you can store in a sealed container/jar in a refrigerator.  Chocolate may have settled to the bottom of the jar or container while in refrigerator. Just scoop out with a spoon. To reheat pour into a small saucepan and heat over medium/low.
