Hot cocoa recipe with a bit of coffee and cinnamon. You can't beat hot chocolate made with real melted chocolate, especially with the added cinnamon.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbs instant coffee crystals
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 cups milk
  • Whipped cream

Preparation:

In a saucepan, mix chocolate, sugar, coffee, cinnamon and water. Heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir constantly. Simmer for about 4 minutes, while stirring. Add milk and heat through without boiling. Remove from heat and whisk until foamy. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
