How to Make Special Dark Cocoa
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (or more, to taste), and 1/2 cup water until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent scorching and lumps.
- Reduce heat to low and gently whisk in 2 cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy). Continue whisking until heated through and steaming, but do not let it boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour into mugs and serve immediately.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
