I'm not an expert, but I would think it would be much better
freshly prepared. Perhaps you could do some of the prep ahead
of time (like making the chile water, combining the cream,
vanilla, and cinnamon, etc.), then you'd just have to heat
each major componant and blend them before serving.

I'd prefer to leave the cream mixture and chile water on low
while melting the chocolate than vice versa -- chocolate doesn't
like to sit around for long after being melted, I think.

Sorry, can't help with that part... :-)
