Double-Hot Drinking Chocolate
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 2 3×1-inch strips orange peel
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- Unsweetened whipped cream
Directions:
- In a heavy medium saucepan, heat the milk, 1 cup cream, brown sugar, orange peel, and cayenne over medium-low heat until just simmering.
- Remove from heat. Add chocolate and vanilla; let stand 5 minutes.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and chocolate is melted.
- Return to medium-low heat; cook and stir until desired temperature.
- Remove orange peel.
- Pour into demitasse or small teacups or small mugs and top with a small dollop of whipped cream.
Note: The dash of cayenne pepper makes the drink extra-warming without being overtly spicy.
