Saw AB do this on Good Eats, and finally tried it this morning. Rich and creamy cocoa. The dash of cayenne is just enough to enhance the flavor of the chocolate. You could use cinnamon instead of cayenne, something my mom used to do. Read more The powdered sugar and cornstarch create a creamy thick and rich cocoa. I used warm milk instead of water, and I added jumbo marshmallows. See less
