Enjoy a home-made mexican mocha on cinco de mayo!
This works best if you double or triple the recipe, but you can make just one serving. In a small pot, combine the cream or milk with the cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate syrup over low heat. Heat until the mixture barely begins to boil, stirring constantly. Pour over a mug of coffee, and top with a dash of cinnamon!
