Mayan Hot Chocolate

Have you ever had Mayan hot chocolate? It's amazing, rich hot chocolate steeped with a little cinnamon, vanilla, and chili pepper. Absolutely amazing, the food of the gods, and the inspiration for this little story.

"It was too deliciously spicy to resist."

She sighed, breathing in the heady aroma. It floated through the air, assailing her senses deliciously. Her hands closed around the cup and the warmth seeped through the thin paper cup into her cold hands. She couldn't take a sip yet, it was too hot, but the scent itself was enough to drive her nearly mad with longing. Hot chocolate on a cold winter's day, made in the traditional Mayan style. Rich, creamy chocolate melted into hot milk and beaten to a froth, then mixed with a little vanilla, a dash of cinnamon, and, last of all, just a hint of chili pepper.

Mmmm...it was too deliciously spicy to resist.
