Orange Cinnamon Hot Chocolate
This is one of the most comforting drinks in winter. A cup of hot chocolate flavoured with cinnamon and orange rind feels luxurious and so comforting. It takes 10 minutes to make it.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 50 gms dark chocolate
- 1 heaped tsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 inch cinnamon stick
- 1 tbsp orange rind rind of half and orange
Instructions
- Cut the chocolate into very small pieces.
- You can either slice the rind of the orange or grate it. You have to be careful about not using any white part of the orange peel.
- Add every dry ingredient and half a cup of milk in a saucepan. Put it on medium flame and let the chocolate melt.
- Keep stirring so that the chocolate melts faster and evenly. Once it becomes smooth, add the rest of the milk and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes because we want the flavour of the cinnamon and the orange rind.
- You can add sugar if you need it. And you can also adjust the quantity of chocolate and cocoa powder as per your taste.
- Once you start getting the orange and cinnamon flavour, turn off the heat.
- Strain the hot chocolate and pour it into mugs. Serve with more shaved chocolate or marshmallows.
