Mexican Spiced Hot Cocoa


1 T cocoa
2 t brown sugar
1/4 t cinnamon
1/8 t nutmeg
1 cup milk
1/2 t vanilla
1/8 t almond extract

Mix the cocoa and spices in a mug. Heat the milk until very hot, then add about 1/3 to the mug. Mix thoroughly, then add the remaining milk and extracts.

If you prefer not to start from scratch, Mexican chocolate disks can be purchased at many grocery stores, with "Ibarra" and "Abuelita" (made by Nestle) being two common brands. You can follow the instructions on the box, or spice it up by adding cinnamon, vanilla bean, and chili powder.
