Hot chocolate and cinnamon were made to go together. The spiciness of the cinnamon and the depth of the chocolate make for a warming and delicious drink, ideal in the depths of cold weather or for when you need a pick-me-up without guilt.

Ingredients

Malted Cinnamon Hot Chocolate

Pour the milk into the mug.

Heat in the microwave (about 15-30 seconds, depending on your microwave).

Stir in your desired amount of Ovaltine with the spoon.

Add 2-6 pinches of cinnamon according to how much of a "bite" you would like.

Keep stirring until everything is mixed in.

Top with whipped cream and/or marshmallows.

Enjoy!

Mexican Cinnamon Hot Chocolate

Pour the milk into a heavy based saucepan. Add the cinnamon stick. Slowly bring to the boil.

Add the chocolate. Be liberal with the quantity.

Use a whisk to beat the milk and chocolate together. Whisk until the chocolate is totally combined through the milk.

Add sugar to sweeten. This is optional, only if you like it.

Add vanilla to taste. Again, this is only if you like the flavor. It does add a delicious touch.

Fish out the cinnamon stick. Pour the hot chocolate into a mug.

Serve. Top with whipped cream and/or marshmallows if you like. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon for a finishing touch. Serve with cookies or scones.

Cinnamon Hot Chocolate Mix

Place all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

Whisk together to combine. Be gentle.

Puree the mixture. Add batches of the mixture at a time to the food processor. Pulse until the entire mix is finely ground.

Transfer to ground chocolate mix to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry and dark place. The mix will keep for up to 3 months.

Make hot cinnamon chocolate from the mix. Simply use 1/3 cup of the mix added to 1 cup of hot milk or water in a mug. Add whipped cream for garnish, if desired.
