This is adult hot cocoa. Don't expect
your kids to like it this way!

Don't be afraid of the cayenne. Experiment
to find a good amount.
-
Substitute leftover coffee for some of the
water, 1/2 & 1/2 for some of the milk.
-
Top with whipped cream, if you are so inclined.
-
Add a dash of brandy when you serve it, to
increase the warming properties.
