Ingredients

3/4 cup water

1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)

3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 heaping tablespoon instant espresso

Pinch salt

2 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, the best quality possible, grated

2 cups whole milk

Vanilla ice cream

Chili powder

Directions

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'.)
