Time 9m

Number Of Ingredients 6

500ml whole milk
2 cinnamon sticks (use Mexican cinnamon sticks for a distinctly floral, sweeter taste), plus extra to serve
2 tbsp dark cocoa powder (see tip, below)
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp chilli powder
2 tbsp brown sugar

Steps:

  • Pour the milk into a medium saucepan, add the cinnamon sticks and stir frequently over a medium heat (don't let it boil) until the milk is fragrant, about 5 mins.
  • Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks, then add the cocoa, vanilla, chilli powder and sugar. Remove from the heat and whisk until the mixture is smooth and frothy - this will only take a couple of minutes. Divide between two mugs and garnish with fresh cinnamon sticks.
