Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup whole milk
- 50 g semi-sweet or dark chocolate chopped
- 1 orange's peel
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 tablespoon orange juice fresh
Instructions
- In a pot, add milk and the orange peels and bring it to a simmer.
- Turn off heat and let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes covered. The longer milk rests with the orange rind the more flavour it will develop. I recommend 30 minutes if you have time to spare.
- Remove orange peels and add chocolate, cinnamon powder, sugar and cocoa powder. Whisk well.
- Put back on flame over medium heat and cook till the chocolate melts. Keep stirring in between.
- When the milk starts to simmer and the chocolate has melted, add the orange juice. Mix and cook on low heat for 2 minutes.
- Pour into a mug and dust with some cocoa powder and orange zest. Serve hot.
