Mexican Hot Chocolate

Directions

1. 1
   Pour milk in a pot and place over medium heat.
2. 2
   Add in the chocolate and stir until well-combined. When the chocolate is melted, add the vanilla, cinnamon, chipotle powder, salt, and additional sweetener/ cayenne pepper if using. If you have an immersion blender, give the hot chocolate a quick whir before serving. Another option is to transfer the hot chocolate to a blender and blend on high until the texture is velvety smooth.
3. 3
   Add optional whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired and serve.
