| 1. Combine milk and half-and-half, heat on medium until just below simmering. | 2. Remove pan from heat and add all chocolate. When melted, add sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla bean seeds, ground cinnamon, chili and nutmeg. Whisk all together. | 3. Return pan to stove on low, reheating gently. Serve immediately in mugs, using cinnamon stick to garnish. | 4. Note: Add chili powder slowly, as you may like less or more. It's all to taste. Chili can be omitted altogether. My family loves it, however! | 5. Note: I usually use about a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, but sometimes I use more, depending on how much flavor I want. YMMV. This goes for nutmeg, too (I usually use just a pinch). | 6. Note: Add about four tablespoons dark rum if you're feeling frisky! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
