Mexican Hot Chocolate

Mexican Hot Chocolate by Mindy Huskins ’13

“Sometimes Haffner puts out cinnamon sticks on the spice rack. My favorite thing to do when that happens is to make Mexican hot chocolate! Just grab a mug, put a cinnamon stick or two inside, fill it up with hot chocolate from the machine, and sprinkle a little bit of cayenne pepper on top! Always super delicious.”
