Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk, at room temp
  • Zest of two medium oranges
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 100 gms dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsps caster sugar
  • 1/3 cup water, at room temp (depending on how thin or thick you want the hot chocolate)
  • 1 to 2 tbsps whiskey

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine the milk, orange zest and cinnamon. Heat on a low flame until just simmering.
  • Add the chopped chocolate and stir slowly but constantly till melted, then add the sugar and stir till dissolved.
  • Now add the water, pouring in just enough to bring the mixture chocolate to a sip-able consistency, or if you like it super thick, leave it as is.
  • Bring to a boil, then take the pan off the heat and stir in the whiskey. Avoid adding too much because it could cause the hot chocolate to split.
  • Serve piping hot with whipped cream!
