Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 whole star anise
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 ounces dark chocolate , finely chopped
- strip of orange rind (optional; if using add it in the beginning with the whole milk)
- pinch of red chili powder (optional for a little kick)
Instructions
- Pour the milk in a small saucepan and add the star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Slowly heat the milk until it is very hot and steaming but not boiling (should take at least 5 minutes to give the spices time to infuse the milk). Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and dark chocolate and whisk until melted. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and simmer for another 5 minutes, whisking constantly to prevent scorching. Pour into mugs and if desired serve with whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa powder and ground cinnamon.
