Chef's Notes:
There’s nothing like a rich mug of hot chocolate to warm the soul on a cold winter night. We add our signature twist to this cup of chocolate with a fragrant mix of spices and a touch of orange zest. For the chocolate, try a nice Venezuelan cacao like El Rey’s Gran Saman Dark Chocolate 70% for a bold, earthy flavor.
