  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Small pinch of chili powder
  • Whipped cream (optional)

  4. Add the chili a tiny pinch at a time, tasting as you go

  5. Heat until steaming, without boiling

  6. Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream if you like

Tips

  • Contains milk; chocolate often carries traces of nuts, so check the label
  • Oat milk and dairy-free dark chocolate make a vegan version
  • Leave out the chili for a classic cup, or set it out so each of you can spice your own

Check for allergies and intolerances before you start, and swap ingredients as needed.
