Yields: 6-12 cups
Ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups whole milk
- 4 ounces unsweetened dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract (i expect a split vanilla bean would be better)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it is hot to the touch.
- Whisk in the chocolate and sugar, and continue whisking for 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the vanilla (and the cinnamon and cayenne, if using).
- Reduce the heat to low. Serve immediately, or remove from heat and mix with a hand blender for a lighter consistency.
