1 teaspoon instant coffee |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 pinch allspice |
1 dash cayenne pepper |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) |
2 cups water |
sugar (optional) |
milk (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine cocoa powder, coffee and spices in microwave-safe mug.
2. Add vanilla (if using) and water. Stir to combine.
3. Heat in microwave for approximately 2 minutes, or until as hot as you like it. (Alternately, heat water in saucepan and pour hot water over dry ingredients.).
4. Stir well.
5. Sweeten and/or add milk as desired.
