Spiced Hot Chocolate

1. 1

   Add the chocolate, cocoa, milk and spices to a pan and heat, whisking, until nearly boiling. Meanwhile, heat a mug by filling it with boiling water. Add honey to taste-how much will depend on the sweetness of your chocolate. Adjust the spices; I usually up the chilli at this point, but then I'm a nut for that. The cinnamon and the nutmeg shouldn't overwhelm the rich dark chocolate flavour, but should definitely be discernable.

2. 2

   Whisk to make sure everything is dissolved, and then whisk furiously to achieve just a bit of froth on the top. Empty the hot water out of your mug, and replace it with the hot chocolate. Add a shot of spirits if desired, turn on something relaxing to listen to or watch, and curl up somewhere in a dressing gown and fluffy slippers until the world is a better place ...
