Instructions: Place the habanero pepper into a tea ball or infuser and set aside. Combine the milk and the cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Bring to a boil over low heat. Place the tea ball in the pan and stir for about 10 seconds. Taste the milk to check the level of fire. Keep stirring and testing every ten seconds until it is as fiery as you want. Remove the tea ball and set aside.

Add the Mexican chocolate, stirring well until the chocolate is completely melted. Remove the cinnamon sticks and serve the drinks in mugs. Pass the habanero-filled tea ball for those whose wish to soak up some extra fire.

Note: Mexican chocolate can be found in Latin grocery stores. It is usually packaged as a bar designed to be broken into pieces. If you cant find it, substitute your favorite cocoa mix.
