Instructions:
- Measure and set out the milk, dark chocolate, and orange juice.
- If using a chocolate bar, chop the chocolate into small pieces to ensure it melts evenly.
- Pour the 4 cups of milk into a medium-sized saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Heat the milk, stirring occasionally, until it is warm but not boiling. The milk should be steaming and have small bubbles forming around the edges.
- Gradually add the 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate to the warm milk.
- Continuously stir the mixture with a whisk or a heat-resistant spatula to help the chocolate melt and blend smoothly into the milk.
- Continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Once the chocolate is fully integrated into the milk, slowly pour in the 1/3 cup of orange juice.
- Stir the mixture well to ensure the orange juice is thoroughly combined with the chocolate milk. The hot chocolate should have a smooth, velvety texture.
- Continue heating the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, while stirring, until it reaches your desired temperature.
- Be careful not to let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat.
- Pour the Jaffa hot chocolate into mugs using a ladle or by carefully pouring from the saucepan.
- For added flair, you can garnish your Jaffa hot chocolate with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a twist of orange zest.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, chocolatey taste with a hint of citrus.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate to ensure a rich and smooth texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, consider adding a small amount of sugar or honey to taste.
- Whisk the mixture continuously while heating to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and the milk doesn't scorch.
- For a stronger orange flavor, you can add a bit of orange zest along with the juice.
- For an even creamier beverage, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of heavy cream.
- Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of orange zest or a few chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
This Jaffa Hot Chocolate is a decadent and refreshing beverage that seamlessly combines the richness of dark chocolate with the vibrant touch of orange. Whether you're warming up on a chilly night or treating yourself to a sweet yet sophisticated drink, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy every satisfying sip!
