Ingrediants

1 cinnamon stick

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp cocoa

3 tsp caster sugar

40g dark chocolate, grated

1 tsp orange zest

500ml milk

Directions

1. Sift the cocoa into a small saucepan and combine with the sugar. Add the orange zest  and stir.
2. Add the cinnamon and milk and stir as you heat over medium heat. 
3. As the milk heats add the grated chocolate (saving a little to sprinkle on top at the end). Stir continuously so that the chocolate mixes and melts and ensure the milk doesn’t get too hot. You do not want it to come to the boil.
4. When the chocolate and sugar have dissolved and the milk is hot, remove from the heat and use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk as desired (this step can also be left out).  Serve immediately.
