Frederick's Spicy Hot Cocoa

Frederick's spicy hot cocoa ritual

Frederick makes spicy hot cocoa from scratch… daily.  Now this is a habit I can get into.

Fortunately, we arrived at his home exactly at cocoa time.  “Oh!  You have to try this one… this is a great batch.  It’s got a kick,” he said.  Um… yes please.

I may have licked the mug clean.  I’m just sayin’.

Frederick’s recipe:

  • Cacao powder (to taste)
  • A little bit of unsweetened chocolate (to taste, for a bottom-end kick)
  • Palm sugar
  • Spices to taste (fresh nutmeg and a little allspice)
  • A little sea salt
  • Cayenne pepper
