Hot Chocolate

Porcelain, wheel thrown, cone 6 oxidation fired, 4.25 x 5.25 x 3.75 inches.

Recipe: Hot Chocolate

INGREDIENTS:

Milk - any type that you like to drink

Chocolate chips - dark or semi sweet will work fine

Honey - I like dark honey, but you choose what you like to taste

Vanilla extract - just a dash for extra flavor

Red chili - a dash to make your hot chocolate a bit spicy. Be sure to check it as it's simmering to taste for spice

PROCESS:

Warm the milk and melt the chocolate chips in a pan. Be sure to whisk often as the chocolate melts. Cut the chili in half, remove the seeds. Whisk in some water, honey, cinnamon and vanilla to taste. Add the chili and allow the mix to come to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes before drinking to allow the flavors to come together. Tip: be careful when handling the chili - and don't touch your eyes with chili fingers - ouch!!
