Cold and Sick = Hot Cocoa


There are two times I like hot chocolate, when I am sick or on the first snow day of the year....Today i am sick.
I have in my possession the most incredible hot chocolate recipe. It cures all ills and makes frigged days nice and toasty.

Aztec Hot Chocolate

5 cups of water
1 dehydrated red chili pepper ( poke a hole or two in it for more heat)
7 Tbs Baking Cocoa
2 cinnamon sticks
2/3 cup sugar
1 tbs vanilla extract

Put the cinnamon sticks and chili pepper in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce heat and whisk in sugar. Then Whisk chocolate in one tablespoon at a time to prevent clumping.  Add vanilla and simmer for 5 minutes, stir occasionally. Serve.
