Testing - Hot Chocolate

I used 1/8 tsp cayenne the first time, and it was a little too spicy. It would be nice to try other types of chilli, like something smoky.

(Makes 2 servings)
1 cup milk
1 cup whipping cream
2 tbsp. cacao powder
1 plain 70% dark chocolate bar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
a dash ground Cayenne pepper
1-2 tbsp. honey
  1. Chop fine or grate the chocolate bar.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, stir together cacao and spices.
  3. Adding a small amount of the milk, whisk into a paste.
  4. In a saucepan, slowly heat the milk and cream and when the liquid just starts to move from the heat, slowly add the paste to the saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened, stirring.
  5. Again look for the liquid to just starts to move before boiling, remove from heat. Add the chopped chocolate and honey and whisk until it's completely melted and incorporated.
  6. Pour into mugs and add more honey to your taste.
