South Of The Border Hot Chocolate™

This is great for after raking leaves, celebrating the El Dia De Los Muertos or anytime.

I've used cocoa powder, but you can also use chocolate chips too.

4 c. reduced fat milk
1/4 - 1/3 c. cocoa powder
1 - 2 T. regular or diatetic sugar
1/8 - 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch each: nutmeg, cayanne pepper (optional)

Heat a saucepan over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium low.

Add ingredients and simmer for 5 - 8 minutes or until done.

Ladle into heat proof mugs.

Serves 4.
