Ingredients

2 cups boiling water

1 chile pepper, cut in half, seeds removed (with gloves)

5 cups light cream or whole or nonfat milk

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

1 to 2 cinnamon sticks

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate or 3 tablets Mexican chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

2 tablespoons sugar or honey, or to taste

l tablespoon almonds or hazelnuts, ground extra fine

Whipped cream

Directions

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.

Yum! sounds very nice. I think I will stick my toe into the water by making the chile-infused water, and then shrink the volume of the other ingred. to make fewer cups. thank you for posting!! sounds luscious. trish
