How to make it

  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add chile pepper to boiling water.
  • Cook until liquid is reduced to 1 cup.
  • Remove chile pepper; strain water and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream or milk, vanilla bean and cinnamon stick until bubbles appear around the edge.
  • Reduce heat to low; add chocolate and sugar or honey; whisk occasionally until chocolate is melted and sugar dissolves.
  • Turn off heat; remove vanilla bean and cinnamon stick.
  • Add chile-infused water, a little at a time, tasting to make sure the flavor isn't too strong.
  • If chocolate is too thick, thin with a little more milk.
  • Serve in small cups and offer ground almonds or hazelnuts and whipped cream.
