Ah, it’s again one of those days when you just don’t want to leave the house. It’s winter, and the rain is beating against the windows. Now, a good way to make yourself feel a lot better is to trust the power of a hot chocolate… however, with a little spicy twist.

Ingredients

• 600 ml milk
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 chili pepper
• 40 gr of cocoa powder
• 50 gr sugar
• 80 gr dark chocolate
• 2 tbsp Amaretto (optional)
• 1-2 tbsp starch

Bring the milk with the cinnamon stick to boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for a few minutes. In the meanwhile, cut the chili pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds (wash your hands afterwards).

Stir the cocoa with the sugar into 100 ml milk until it’s smooth. Then mix it with the rest or the milk in the pot. Add the chocolate and let it melt. Finally, add some Amaretto if you like. Strain it and serve.
