Pour milk into a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in cocoa powder, sugar, cayenne, and vanilla until no lumps remain.
Step 2
Heat until steaming and small bubbles form at the edges, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.
Step 3
Pour into a molinillo whisk or use a handheld frother to whisk vigorously until frothy and doubled in volume, 30 to 60 seconds.
