Ingredients

Scale

Hot Chocolate Base

  • 2 cups milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips

Fruit and Flavorings

  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 2 tbsp raspberry syrup

Spices

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Warm the Milk: In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling, ensuring a smooth base for the hot chocolate.
  2. Add Raspberries and White Chocolate: Stir in the raspberries and white chocolate chips, continuing to heat while stirring until the chocolate has fully melted and the raspberries have broken down to infuse the milk with their flavor.
  3. Incorporate Spices: Sprinkle in the cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg, stirring thoroughly to evenly distribute the warm, spicy notes throughout the mixture.
  4. Strain the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine sieve to eliminate raspberry seeds, leaving a smooth drink.
  5. Add Raspberry Syrup: Stir in the raspberry syrup until it is well combined, enhancing the vibrant raspberry flavor and sweetness.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and garnish with additional fresh raspberries or a light sprinkle of cinnamon for presentation and extra flavor.
  7. Enjoy: Serve hot and savor the decadent combination of chocolate, fruit, and spices in this luxurious beverage.

Notes

  • Use any milk of your choice, such as dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk, to suit dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to taste for desired heat level or omit if sensitive to spice.
  • For a richer texture, substitute half the milk with cream.
  • If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries can be used but should be thawed beforehand.
  • Raspberry syrup can be replaced with any berry syrup or additional sugar if preferred.
