The Steaming Cup

Cinnamon and a hint of coffee in this hot chocolate

Hot cocoa recipe with a bit of coffee and cinnamon. You can’t beat hot chocolate made with real melted chocolate, especially with the added cinnamon.

• 1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbs instant coffee
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 cups milk

Grate chocolate, and mix together with other ingredients (except for milk). Heat in a saucepan and simmer while chocolate melts. Stir until everything is evenly blended together. Continue to simmer and stir for about 5 minutes. Then add milk and heat through, but don’t let your  chocolate mixture boil.

Remove from heat, and whisk until frothy. Serve hot chocolate immediately with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
