This was excellent! Lots of interesting flavours and not too sweet. I had to buy $15.00 worth of roses just to make my own rose water, but it was well worth it. I didn't stray at all from the recipe, and I'm glad I didn't. Don't worry about the chili spicing it up too much. There isn't any real heat if you take it out before the chocolate is added. Thanks for posting, horseplay! Made for Spring PAC '09.

Congratulations if you've found this recipe. I have NEVER had hot chocolate with such subtle sophisticated flavors. You MUST make this. Deviations: I used 2 oz unsweetened chocolate + 2T extra sugar. I left the chili in, and the spice was too much for my nephew, but perfect for me! Comment: The portion size is almost too much for two. I would say this serves four people. I'll be making this for the rest of my life! Thank you!
