A delightful twist on traditional hot chocolate, infused with aromatic spices and a hint of lavender.
Combine the milk, chili powder, cinnamon stick, lavender, and cocoa powder in a saucepan.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure the cocoa powder dissolves evenly.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.
Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Keep the lid slightly ajar to avoid pressure buildup.
Strain the mixture into cups and sweeten to taste with cane sugar.
Taste the mixture before adding sugar to adjust sweetness to your liking.
Serve the hot chocolate immediately and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a cinnamon stick for presentation.
