Mocha Spiced Hot Cocoa

I love drinks based around coffee.. typically that just means coffee. I had been recently looking through various cook books for new drink ideas, and I am across this Mocha Spiced Hot Cocoa in the cookbook by Vitamix called Create. It is really weird to think about how this hot drink is made in blender, but that doesn't seem to stop it from tasting good.

Mocha Spiced Hot Cocoa
Makes: 2 Cups

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
1/8 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
-Place all ingredients in Vitamix contain in order listed and secure lid.
-select hot soup program
- switch machine to start and allow machine to complete programmed cycle. 

Although this recipe uses a Vitamix, I am sure that you can make this over the stove, or make a standard hot chocolate recipe and add in the chili and coffee powder. 

Let me know if you try it!
