For the
Cinnamon Whipped Cream: Chill the whipping bowl and beaters
in the freezer for 20 minutes. Add the whipping cream, sugar,
cinnamon and vanilla and beat with a mixer until it's thick. Cover
and keep cold in your fridge until ready to use.
For the Hot Chocolate: In a medium saucepan add
the Ovaltine, spices, salt and water. Bring to a boil, stirring
well to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and stir in the half
& half and vanilla. Return the pan to your stove and heat to
150° over medium heat while stirring. DO NOT re-boil. Once hot,
pour into mugs and serve topped with the cinnamon whipped cream
dusted with ground cinnamon. To make this even better, add a shot
of Kahlua to each mug before you pour in the hot chocolate.
