You can add few easily available ingredients to spice up your hot chocolate and they also make a great evening drink during Christmas.\u00a0Here are some ways to spice up your chocolate:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n CAYENNE+CINNAMON<\/strong><\/p>\n Cayenne and cinnamon can be added to your hot chocolate to add a spicy bite to it along with sweet flavour. The kick from cayenne pepper complements the earthy taste of cinnamon. While you make hot chocolate, add 1 teaspoon each of cayenne and cinnamon powder to 1 big mug of hot chocolate. You may also add vanilla to it for added flavour.<\/p>\n PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE<\/strong><\/p>\n To make this hot chocolate, you need 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk, 2 peppermint tea bags, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and raw agave for sweetness. Add the coconut milk along with the peppermint tea bags and the cocoa powder in a small pot. Put it over medium heat stirring it well. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat. Pour it in a mug and your peppermint hot chocolate is ready!

You only need to add 1 teaspoon black tea, cinnamon cloves and cardamom (quantity as per your taste) to 1 bug mug of hot chocolate.<\/p>\n BITTER ORANGE HOT CHOCOLATE<\/strong><\/p>\n Orange and chocolate has always been my favourite combination. Hot chocolate with a little bit of citrusy orange flavour is an automatic win. You can add a bit of orange juice, maybe 2-3 tablespoons to 1 cup of hot chocolate. Orange peel powder too can be added for that extra flavour; but it can make your drink a bit bitter but it tastes good.<\/p>\n CHILLI SPICED HOT CHOCOLATE<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have ever had lindt chilli flavoured dark chocolate and liked it, no doubt you will love this chilli spiced hot chocolate as well.
