well this has been sitting in the draft box for about a month sorry.
I will admit it. I love chocolate any form, mainly Dark Chocolate.
When we went to Hillside Festival last summer. There was a food vendor that I was eyeing every time we showed up, left or walked past. It was pretty well at the entrance to the festival. They were making corn flour tortillas on a huge cast iron looking pan, with I'm pretty sure cocoa in the stuff being wrapped up maybe I'm wrong, but they also had Aztec or Mayan Hot Cocoa. Which by the end of three days of walking past I finally had enough. I says to myself "F-this noise, I'm getting some Hot Cocoa, and tacos or burritos what ever those things are" luckily it was like the last 15 mins of the festival and they were just trying to get rid of stuff, and selling it cheap, put in my order and got the hot Cocoa and just about died, it was awesome, warm as in spicy, and hot as in hot chocolate it was marvelous, finished it before my taco or tortilla things were ready, before the security officials were asking us to leave, before they had to do something about it.
Well now it's getting close to it actually being winter and hot chocolate season, I'm ready to start experimenting. first batch. Cocoa powder, powdered sugar, skim milk powder, pinch of salt, cornstarch(why I am not sure but it asks for it), then in my cup I added a pinch of chili powder, that sucked, nothing even close, that really was bad, but I finished it, it tasted more chocolate than chili so it was bearable.
Then added the mix to another cup added a little cinnamon, and Cayenne pepper, wooo I found it, not the same but close enough to tie me over to the next time I find Aztec hot chocolate from someone who knows how to make it.... WARNING watch out how much Cayenne you put in it. Did I ever tell you how intolerant I am to spicy, I love it, it does not like me... but either way hit the gas.
So I drank it, it was phenom-nom-nom-nomenal, if i don't say so my self.
Will post Recipe in the future once I have perfected the Mayan on Aztec part of it. But for the time being.

1 1/4cp - Cocoa Powder
2 cp - Powdered Sugar
