Easy Hot Spiced Mexican Hot Chocolate

[Guest guest]

My baby is suddenly 6, so I've been a wee bit busy for the past few day but here

it is... I found this recipe while playing an online recipe swap game at

www.recipezaar.com. It is NOT a vegetarian site but has many vegetarian & vegan

recipes. In fact, the last game I played, there was a woman who is vegetarian

on my team. Actually, she's from Manhattan & we've met a couple of times - once

for dinner & she came to see my daughter dance in the Nutcracker. Way cool.

Anyways...I LOVE this hot chocolate recipe & the submitter of this recipe has

become a friend of mine, too. (cooks are so friendly!) I sometimes soak an

ancho pepper in boiling water, then use that water for the 3/4c mentioned in the

ingredient list. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
