Recipe - Hot Coffee

1 lg Cup of really strong coffee
(a Starbucks coffee of the
day with a shot of
espresso will do)
3 tablespoon Chocolate syrup (adds just
the right touch of
sweetness for me)
Your favorite ground pepper
to taste (about a half
tsp. of powdered cayenne,
maybe less, maybe more)

Somewhere along the line, I read about the history of chocolate and found
out that originally, chocolate (or cocoa) was a savory beverage that was
seasoned with tadapepper. Well, wouldn't you know, these days many
places serve a mocha, a combination of coffee and chocolate. To make things
even better and to get a taste of history,my friends and I have been making
what I call HOT coffee.

Stir and drink.....

Avoid dairy in this recipe for the full effect. Wimps can add dairy or
nondairy lightners for a "milkier" beverage.

The combination of the peppers that cause the release of endorphins and the
caffeine is something to behold. (teehee)

Extend addition of powdered pepper to other drinks like colas for a special
treat.
