A delicious beverage based on a drink described in the "Dragonriders of Pern" books by Anne McCaffrey. This recipe makes a large single serving. I mix the dry ingredients and take baggies of it to work to leave in my desk for whenever I need a pick-me-up.

SERVES 1 , 2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 teaspoon cocoa powder, unsweetened (I like Hershey's Special Dark)
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch allspice
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
2 cups water
sugar (optional)
milk (optional)

Directions

1
Combine cocoa powder, coffee and spices in microwave-safe mug.
2
Add vanilla (if using) and water. Stir to combine.
3
Heat in microwave for approximately 2 minutes, or until as hot as you like it. (Alternately, heat water in saucepan and pour hot water over dry ingredients.).
4
Stir well.
5
Sweeten and/or add milk as desired.

What a lovely warming drink for a cold winters day. I especially love the little kick from the cayenne. Thanks for posting!

Delicious!! I used a Hershey's special dark hot cocoa mix.It was great. That added a bit of sweetness. I topped it with Cool whip,whipped topping spray. I did not add the cayenne pepper( personal choice). can't wait to have this beverage at the lake, sitting by the camp fire. recipe swap#27 Aus/NZ
