MAYAN HOT CHOCOLATE
4 servings
This spiced hot chocolate has a remarkably clean chocolate flavor because no dairy is added. Use a high-quality chocolate that you would be happy eating on its own.
Combine in a small saucepan:
- 2 ½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Bring to a brisk simmer, remove from the heat, and add, whisking until melted and completely combined:
- 4 ounces dark, bittersweet, or semisweet chocolate (60 to 72% cacao), finely chopped
