Ingredients for Spicy Hot Chocolate & Homemade Marshmallows

2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips –> I nixed these in favour of sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract –> plus a little bit of vanilla bean
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
pinch of nutmeg
sugar, optional (depends on your taste) –> 2 tablespoons of sugar

For marhsmallows, you need need need to follow this recipe by Ina Garten // here //

Step 1: Mix all the dry ingredients together in a small saucepan.

Step 2: Add in the vanilla Extract, and a hint of vanilla bean.

Step 3: Add in the milk! Stir and whisk as you go. Ideally you should be doing all of this over a stove, so make sure you do that otherwise it will be cold!
