  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Return the saucepan to low heat and gently warm for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the rum (if using).
  6. Gradually add the three-color peppercorns, starting with a small amount and tasting as you go, until you reach your desired level of spice.
  7. Place a spoon in each heat-resistant glass before pouring in the hot chocolate. This helps prevent cracking.
