Wickedly bitter with a spicy edge, this Mayan Hot Chocolate recipe is both warming and energizing. Allspice and cinnamon give it a spicy floral note, while cayenne gives it a piquant edge that cuts cacao's natural bitterness, and annatto lends a little color.
Meanwhile, drop the chocolate into a small glass measuring cup or jar. Sprinkle the spices over the chocolate.
Pour the hot water over the chocolate, and stir until completely melted. Transfer to a milk frother, and froth until creamy, thickened and foamy - about 1 minute. Enjoy immediately.
