How to Make Orange Kissed Hot Chocolate
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate and orange zest. Stir over medium-low heat until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and orange juice.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Do not boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds to create a frothy texture.
- Discard the orange zest (optional: leave some in for extra zest).
- Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with your favorite garnishes such as mini marshmallows, whipped cream, or an orange slice.
