Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups milk
1 ancho chile, cut into 4 pieces, seeds removed
2 cinnamon sticks, plus 4 for garnish
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, ancho chile, and cinnamon; heat just until milk begins to steam, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat; let steep, covered, 10 minutes.
  • Place chocolate in a medium bowl; strain milk mixture into bowl, whisking to combine thoroughly. Discard cinnamon sticks. Return mixture to saucepan; continue whisking until chocolate has completely melted. Divide among four mugs, and serve immediately, garnished with remaining cinnamon sticks.
