Method
step 1
Heat the milk and chilli in a small non-stick pan over a low heat until beginning to bubble. Take off the heat and taste. If you prefer more of a chilli kick, leave to infuse for 10 mins.
step 2
Warm over a low heat again if the milk has been left to stand, then stir in the malt powder, chocolate pieces and sugar along with a pinch or two of cinnamon to taste. Stir using a wooden spoon to fully melt and incorporate the chocolate into the milk. Remove and discard the chilli, then pour and serve straightaway with another sprinkling of cinnamon, if you like.
