2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
4 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, such a Lindt, chopped
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Smallest pinch cayenne pepper
Long cinnamon sticks OR candy canes for stirrers, optional
Place the milk and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat, and stir in the chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper with a wooden spoon and allow to rest for 3 minutes. Reheat the hot chocolate over low heat until it simmers.
Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy the spicy flavor combination.
For a quicker way to spice up your cocoa: simply add a little cinnamon.
This is known as "Columbian style" because of it's popularity in Bogota, Columbia, the country's capital.
