If you're looking for a comforting drink for cold days that will also be the center of attention at your holiday gatherings, this hot chocolate recipe with orange zest and cinnamon is for you. Prepare it with your Tierra Cocida Christmas Cups and give it that special, warm touch that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
- 500 ml of milk or your favorite plant-based milk.
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (opt for pure cocoa for an intense flavor).
- 3 tablespoons of coconut sugar, for a healthy and subtle sweetness.
- 2 tablespoons of kuzu, the secret to that creamy and silky texture.
- Orange zest, fresh and aromatic.
- Ground cinnamon, the essential warm touch.
Preparation:
1. Reserve some milk: Set aside half a glass of the milk or plant-based milk.
2. Heat the main ingredients:
- In a saucepan, pour the remaining milk.
- Add the coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, and cocoa powder.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly to ensure all the ingredients are well combined and there are no lumps.
3. Prepare the kuzu mixture:
In the reserved glass of milk, dissolve the two tablespoons of kuzu.
Make sure to blend well with a whisk to avoid lumps.
4. Thicken the chocolate:
Pour the kuzu mixture into the saucepan with the hot chocolate.
Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and reaches that creamy texture we all love.
5. Add the finishing touch:
Using our Alfar Tierra Cocida grater plate, grate some orange zest directly over the hot chocolate.
Mix well so the citrus aroma blends with the other flavors.
6. Serve and enjoy:
