Recipe for Spiced Hot Chocolate
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 hot red chili pepper, halved and seeded
Cooking Directions
Place the water and sugar in a medium saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves and bring it to a boil.
Add the chocolate, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chili, stirring with a whisk and gently bring it to a simmer for 1 minute.
Take off the heat and allow it to infuse for 10 minutes, and strain to remove the chili and the cinnamon stick.
Whip the hot chocolate in a blender.
Serve immediately in large cups, or pour into a container to cool.
Hot chocolate can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept tightly covered in the refrigerator.
To reheat the chilled chocolate, pour it into a medium saucepan, set the pan over low heat, and bring it to a slow boil.
Remove the pan from the heat, whip the chocolate for a minute in a blender.
