This is a spiced version of hot chocolate that is absolutely fantastic. It can be a little rich, though. As with any recipe, you should try it first. Adjust the spices to your preference. If the drink is a bit rich for your taste you can add a cup of water to cut it down a bit.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: The cocoa powder is the foundation of your hot cocoa mix, so it's important to use a good quality powder. Look for a powder that is dark and rich in color, and has a strong chocolate flavor.
  • Add spices to taste: The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion, so feel free to adjust them to your liking. If you like a more spicy hot cocoa, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder. If you prefer a sweeter hot cocoa, add more sugar or honey.
  • Make sure the milk is hot but not boiling: When you add the milk to the hot cocoa mix, make sure it is hot but not boiling. Boiling milk can scald the cocoa powder and make it gritty.
  • Top with whipped cream and marshmallows: For a truly indulgent hot cocoa, top it with whipped cream and marshmallows. This will make your hot cocoa even more delicious and festive.
