Instructions: In a saucepan, mix the cocoa, sugar, cinnamon, pepper and nutmeg. Whisk in the water and bring to a boil, continuing to whisk to break up lumps and prevent burning. Lower heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, unti the sugar, is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add the milk and vanilla; let cool.

When the mixture reaches room temperature, place in ice-cream maker and freeze according to directions. If a firmer texture is desired, remove from freezer, place in a dish, cover and freeze longer.
