Recipe: Simon Toohey
Directions
-
Step 1
Place a mixing bowl over a pot of simmering water (but don’t allow the bowl to touch the water!) over a medium heat.
-
Step 2
Add chocolate, brown sugar, turmeric, chilli powder, and a splash of milk. Stir to bring all of the ingredients together as the chocolate melts.
-
Step 3
Add the orange zest and gradually add the milk one small splash at a time, stirring each portion though the chocolate completely before adding more milk.
-
Step 4
Pour hot chocolate through a sieve into each serving glass. If you’re feelin’ fancy, top it with a chocolate dipped orange crisp to serve.
