IT WAS NICE!!!

I followed the recipe to a tee. It tastes delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I doubled it, for my 16 oz mug. I also made use of my daughter’s latte gadget to preheat the milk and then used my mini-blender to mix in the spices. I don’t use a microwave – so I used my ss-pot and heated it up. It was perfection! Got my girls to taste test for me – and they both smiled brightly. It’s a hit! (I premix my own cocoa powder with stevia, so no additives, no sugar).

Really good! I lowered the chocolate powder to 2 Tbs bc I don’t like it too sweet and went crazy with the cayenne powder! I also took another reviewers advise and added ginger (I like using what I already have). For food measure I also added about a teaspoon of “café de olla” coffee mix. OH I made mine with powdered milk. I don’t go through milk fast enough to buy some so I am experimenting with powdered milk.

I made this for my husband, but I took a sip so I could give it a rating. I made it spicy and hot because I kept adding more cayenne. I couldn’t taste it at first, but then the flavor/hot came through. Whew! I had to dilute it with milk to tame it a bit, but it was very good!

My son and I made this and had mixed reviews. We’ll try it again because we liked the flavour but found its richness made it unpalatable by the end of the mug. I’d up the milk to 1.5 cups. Despite adding a small amount of milk to the dry ingredients and stirring to ensure everything was dissolved, there were still lumps…I’d likely use a whisk and do it on the stove next time.

‘‘Twas good 😉

This was definitely spicy, and it became quite addictive while drinking. I only used 1/2 t of cinnamon; at first I thought that was too much, but I liked it the more I drank. My cocoa mix had milk in it, so I just used water.
Mary Cochran
The spices transform regular hot chocolate into a delicious drink with a nice kick. I enjoyed this different version and topped it with whipped cream. I’ll definitely make this again. Thanks for the recipe!
Edwin Gonzalez
I made it exactly as the recipe said and it is amazing.
Kimberly Vargas
This is awesome!!!
Robin Hoffman
I use cocoa and sugar instead of a mix. I use 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Mayan hot chocolate is the best hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted.
Nancy Perry
I used Starbucks dark hot chocolate and I prepared it by dissolving the hot cocoa in a shot of hot coffee and then added the cinnamon cayenne and a sprinkling of dryer ginger powder.i just eyeballed a the spices. I finished with some vanilla whipped cream. Amazing!! You’ll be bored with regular packet hot cocoa for good!!
Richard Brewer
I liked the spiciness of the hot chocolate and it is toe warming!!
Ethan Anderson
Very tasty!
Joshua Jones
Oh my! This is so good. Love the slight texture and feel of the hot chocolate and the flavor it to die for. I also tried this with ginger as suggested by another rater and yes, that is amazing too. Both ways is a winner to me!
Michael Robinson
Now I’ve got a name to my concoction. I love this stuff!

Dustin Brown
I tried this for the first time and it was the best hot chocolate EVER! Thanks so much for letting me know such a delicious thing was possible.
Tony Sanchez
Wow! This is delicious! I added just a few drops of Vanilla and it was great!
Kenneth Fields
I thought the cinnamon was going to be overpowering but it was a really tasty, tongue-tingling drink. Good blend of flavors! Sure warms you up! Had to ding a star for instant hot chocolate mix because it has additives and other stuff in it.
