Book Bites: Mexican Hot Chocolate


Description

A delicious hot beverage that will warm you, body and soul.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 curls orange rind
  • 1/2 stick of cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons Mexican chocolate, grated
  • anise
  • whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Put milk, orange rind, cinnamon and chocolate in a saucepan and warm through.
  2. Add just a few anise seeds, or more if you like.
  3. Remove the orange and cinnamon–or not.
  4. Pour into a mug, top with whipping cream, and dust with some more grated chocolate.

Note:  I didn’t have whole milk, so I used 2% milk and added a little heavy whipping cream for more richness.
