Default Spicy Aztec Hot Chocolate Help

Hi;

I found a great recipe for spicy Aztec hot chocolate that uses no
sweetener ( the big source of calories for most chochlate ). Trouble
is, it uses fresh ingredients and I would like something I can keep in
my desk and use with our hot water tea spigot

I can use water instead of milk, but how much vanilla powder/extract,
chili powder, cinnamon powder and plain cocoa would I used to
substitute for each of these ingredients?.

* 1 2/3 cups milk

* 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

* 1 red chili pepper, split with seeds removed

* 1 cinnamon stick, around 3-4"

* 1 1/2 oz chocolate (bittersweet)

Thanks in advance

Steve
