How to Make Orangy Hot Chocolate
- Wash and thoroughly dry one medium orange.
- Using a vegetable peeler, carefully remove four strips of orange peel, each approximately 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. Avoid the white pith as it can be bitter.
- Place the orange peel strips in a medium saucepan.
- Pour 2 cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy) into the saucepan.
- Heat the milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tiny bubbles begin to form around the edges of the pan (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
- Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or to taste).
- Whisk continuously until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Remove the orange peel strips and discard them.
- Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mugs.
- Top with whipped cream and/or mini marshmallows for an extra touch of indulgence.
