How to make it

  • Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
  • Split the vanilla bean and add to the boiling water.
  • Add sugar, cinnamon, espresso, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 1 minute and add the bittersweet chocolate.
  • Whisk until it gets thick. Add milk and simmer 1 minute.
  • Serve immediately with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkling of chili powder on top.
  • You may make this ahead and reheat. Make sure to either whisk it or blend it in a blender to make it light and foamy before serving. (The classic Mexican chocolate was whisked with a special wooden tool called a 'molinillo'.)
