Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

150ml milk
50ml double cream
¼-½ tsp dark brown soft sugar
½ orange, zested
pinch of ground ginger
pinch of ground cinnamon
1 clove
2 drops of vanilla extract
50g dark chocolate, chopped
whipped cream
1 mini gingerbread or speculoos biscuit, crushed

Steps:

  • Stir the milk, cream, sugar, orange zest and spices together in a saucepan, then bring to a simmer over a low heat. Remove from the heat and pour through a sieve into a jug, discarding the clove and orange zest. Pour the warm infused milk back into the pan and stir in the vanilla and chocolate until the chocolate has melted and is smooth.
  • Return the pan to a low heat to warm through, if needed, then pour into a heatproof mug. Top with whipped cream and crushed gingerbread biscuits, if you like, then serve.
