Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
• Pour the coffee in a large mug, stir in the cocoa mix, until smooth. Then add cream to taste.
• I usually like to make a larger batch of the Mexican Mocha Mix so I can make them quickly when needed. See batch instructions below.

Steps:

• Add fresh grounds to coffeemaker. Sprinkle cinnamon over grounds, then brew a pot of coffee as normal.
• While coffee brews, add half and half to saucepan. Turn heat to medium low, and add cocoa powder, sugar, and cayenne pepper. Stir to dissolve. Let heat while coffee brews, making sure the half and half doesn't boil. Once it steams, remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.
• Pour half and half mixture into coffee cups, then pour cinnamon coffee over it. Top with whipped cream and a shake of cinnamon. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, if desired.
