Spicy hot cocoa


3 cups of unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup of cocoa powder
1/4 cup of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of chocolate chips
1/8 of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/2 of a teaspoon of cinnamon
Small amount of shaved peanuts, almonds, and orange zest for garnish

Heat the almond milk and chocolate chips on high in a saucepan for several minutes. Whisk and turn down the heat to medium when the chocolate melts. Add in the cocoa powder and sugar and whisk well until mixed. Add the cayenne pepper and cinnamon and mix well. Turn off the heat and pour into two mugs. Add the garnishes and serve!

This had just a little bit of spice that we both enjoyed. The orange zest really complimented the spicy cocoa well.
