Mexican-style cocoa
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Since people in Mexico, as in all Latin American countries, enjoy spicy flavors, I add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cocoa. You can make the drink with milk or plain water. Feel free to add cinnamon, nutmeg, and other compatible spices. Drink it immediately after preparation.
