Spiced Hot Chocolate
Makes two servings
Ingredients:
- 1 2/3 cups low-fat milk
- 1/2 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 cinnamon stick
- 1 hot red chili pepper, halved and seeded
- 3 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably 70 percent
- Brown sugar to taste (optional)
- Cinnamon sticks for stirrers
Place the milk in a saucepan, add the vanilla bean, cinnamon stick and chili, and gently bring it to a simmer for 1 minute. Grate the chocolate and whisk it in until it melts.
