I decided to forego coffee this morning in favor of mocha. When I got to work, our office manager was out and so was the supply of beans in the grinder. (I suspect the two will be back in at the same time.)

So. Hot chocolate. Kinda boring. Needs something.

Cinnamon. That's good. What else?

Tabasco? No, vinegar is a detriment here.

Sriracha? Vinegar and garlic.

Chili pepper flakes? Perfect.

Turns out you can extract a lot of the capsaicin in dried chili peppers with boiling water!
