Recently a movie inspired me to make some spicy hot chocolate with chilli, just like the Aztecs used to make.
The Aztecs were the first to serve chocolate as a drink, but they also mixed it with hot chilli pepper to make a really special beverage - a natural aphrodisiac. I recommend it to anyone who wants to try something exotic with your hot chocolate today.
You will need the following ingredients:
1. 1 1/2 of chocolate (bittersweet)
2. 1 2/3 cups milk
3. 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
4. 1 red chilli pepper, split with seeds removed
5. 1 cinnamon stick, around 3-4"
How to cook:
1. Simmer milk in a saucepan with vanilla bean, cinnamon and chilli.
2. Heat through for about a minute.
3. Whisk in grated chocolate, and continue to simmer until melted.
4. Remove from heat and let 'steep' for another 10 minutes.
5. Strain out the spices and serve.
Enjoy!
