Ingredients

  • 500 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups) milk
  • a 4 × 3 cm (1 1/2 × 1 1/4 inch) strip of orange zest
  • 250 g (9 oz) finely chopped good-quality dark chocolate

Method

1. Put the milk in a heavy-based saucepan. Remove any white pith remaining on the orange zest and lightly score the skin using a small sharp knife. Add to the saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. As soon as the milk comes to the boil, remove the pan from the heat and set aside to infuse for 5 minutes.

2. Discard the orange zest and return the saucepan to the stovetop over low heat. Add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate has melted, making sure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

3. Using an immersion blender fitted with a blending or general-purpose blade, blend the milk for 40 seconds, or until thick and frothy. Pour into four mugs or heatproof glasses and serve.
