Color photograph of a thick, white diner coffee cup on a similar saucer. In the cup, there's hot cocoa with a small wisp of steam rising and cinnamon stick to stir it with; on the saucer is a dusting of cocoa powder. Resting to the right of the cup and saucer is a loosely folded grey cloth napkin with white stripes and a few whole, dried cayenne pepper pods for decoration. The background is black and the table surface is warm, grey colored marble. Light is entering the frame from the left, illuminating the cup and saucer and casting a shadow across the napkin and cayenne pods; the table edge is undiscernible as it disappears into the black background.
It's da bomb! Bittersweet chocolate, sugar, vanilla, cayenne, cinnamon, and whole milk. I like extra cayenne in it during the winter months. Sometimes I appreciate a splash of bourbon with heavy cream for an extra treat.
