How to Make Cold Orange Cardamom Cocoa
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 3 whole green cardamom pods, and the zest of 1 orange.
- Gently heat the mixture over medium-low heat until steaming, but do not boil (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and carefully remove the cardamom pods and orange zest.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 tablespoons of the warm milk mixture until smooth, creating a paste.
- Gradually whisk the cocoa paste into the remaining warm milk mixture until completely smooth and well-combined.
- Allow the cocoa mixture to cool completely to room temperature. Then, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to fully chill.
- Before serving, whisk the chilled cocoa again. Pour into a large glass filled with 3 coffee ice cubes (see tip below for making coffee ice cubes).
- Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of freshly grated orange zest.
