Ingredients
- For the Chocolate
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 ounces fair trade 70% dark chocolate bar (broken into small pieces) or 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon chipotle chili powder, or more to taste
- pinch of cayenne pepper, optional
- Finely ground sea salt
- To Serve the Hot Chocolate
- whipped cream

Directions
-
Pour milk in a pot and place over medium heat. Add in the chocolate and stir until well-combined. When the chocolate is melted, add the vanilla, cinnamon, chipotle powder, salt, and additional sweetener/ cayenne pepper if using. If you have an immersion blender, give the hot chocolate a quick whir before serving. Another option is to transfer the hot chocolate to a blender and blend on high until the texture is velvety smooth. Add optional whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired and serve.
