This homemade hot cocoa mix is slightly spicy, and I mean red pepper spicy, but that's what's half the fun! It was inspired by Oaxacan hot chocolate, so it has rich hot chocolate flavor but a subtle kick. Just mix three tablespoons with your favorite warm milk, and you have a perfect, thick and delicious hot chocolate in no time.
