The Steaming Cup

You can never have too many recipes with rum

You can always leave the rum out if you prefer a non-alcoholic version, but it does add some good flavor.

• 2 cups milk
• 3 1/2 oz dark or semisweet chocolate
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 tsp honey
• 1 tbs brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 tbs dark rum

Chop or grate chocolate, and combine with milk in a saucepan. Stir in honey, sugar and broken cinnamon stick. Heat until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Add vanilla and run, then whisk through. Remove pieces of cinnamon stick, and serve. Serves 2.
