Cold Orange & Cardamom Cocoa image

I love cold and hot cocoas. I especially like the ones that are spicy. This treasure certainly hits the spot. I hope that you will enjoy this lovely treat. Make ice cubes with your leftover coffee. It really adds extra flavor to your cold drinks. *Please note: 2 hr cook time is actually 2 hrs chilling time.
