4 whole cloves

1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick, crushed

1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest

Pinch of cayenne pepper


Directions:

Warm milk over low heat in a medium saucepan. Add cloves, cinnamon, sugar and orange zest. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer, being careful that it does not come to a boil. Stir occasionally as the mixture simmers over low heat for 15 minutes to allow spices to infuse.

Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof pitcher or bowl. Strain hot milk mixture into pitcher and stir well until chocolate is melted. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and stir. Pour hot chocolate into mugs and serve immediately. Makes 4 cups.
