How to Make Mayan Hot Chocolate

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups soymilk, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or to taste), 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  2. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the cocoa powder and sugar are fully dissolved.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until it is warmed through and steaming, but not boiling (about 5-7 minutes). Do not let it boil, or it might scald.
  4. Remove from heat and pour into mugs.
  5. For a cocktail party twist, stir in 1 ounce crème de cacao, 1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream, and 1/2 ounce dark rum per mug.
  6. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of cocoa powder (optional).
