A warm and cozy coffee drink with a hint of spice and chocolate.
In a saucepan, combine the brewed coffee, chocolate syrup, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
Mixing the spices with the coffee ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling.
Avoid boiling to preserve the smooth texture of the drink.
Stir in the creamy half-and-half and continue to heat for another minute.
Adding the half-and-half at the end prevents it from curdling.
Pour the hot coffee mixture into mugs and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
For a festive touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top of the whipped cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spiced Mocha Delight.
Serve with a small dessert for a complete treat.
