1/2 c Boiling water

Heat milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and semisweet chocolate chunks in heavy medium saucepan, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted. Set aside.

(Hot chocolate can be made several hours ahead. Cool. cover and refrigerate. Reheat, stirring, when needed.) To serve, pour hot chocolate into cups or mugs. Garnish each serving with a cinnamon stick. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Note: Whole milk tastes better than 1 or 2 percent in this recipe, but if you are watching calories you can make it with lowered-fat products. On the other hand, if you feel like gilding the lily, try serving the cocoa garnished with dollops of whipped cream on top.
