Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 heaping tablespoon Frontier Co-op® Cocoa Powder
- 1 tablespoon Frontier Co-op® Cane Sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Cayenne Chili Pepper
Directions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring milk to simmer, stirring frequently.
- Add cocoa, sugar and cayenne. Whisk vigorously until fully dissolved and frothy.
- Top with whipped cream and a light dusting of more cayenne. Or substitute ground chipotle chilies for the cayenne to create a smolderingly smoky version.
- If you'd like to replicate a more authentic Aztec drink, substitute the more emphatically flavored natural cocoa powder for the Dutch-processed.
