Spiced Hot Chocolate

Spiced Hot Chocolate Recipe

I found the recipe for this hot chocolate here. The recipe makes six servings, so I changed the amounts accordingly to make three servings. It can be a little rich, and you can change the amount of spice if you want to, it will still be a really yummy hot chocolate.

Ingredients: 

-3 cups of skim milk

-1 tablespoon and 1 and a half teaspoons of cocoa powder

-1 tablespoon and 1 and a half teaspoons of white sugar

-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

-1/4 teaspoon chili powder

-1/8 teaspoon  ground nutmeg

-1/8 teaspoon  ground cloves

I didn't have any ground nutmeg, so instead I used Allspice, which is used in many spice cakes, and was a good substitute. 

Directions: 

1. Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until lukewarm
2. Stir the cocoa powder and sugar into the warmed milk until dissolved. 
3. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, chili powder, nutmeg, and cloves. 
4. Heat another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
