Fabulous Italian hot chocolate! A life of piety and chastity has to call for something sensual occasionally. This confection is sure to elicit a moan from all who partake. Drinking any of the great Italian-style hot chocolates is almost a religious experience. Over and over again, people who taste this drink for the first time say, "Oh, my God." Is that enough encouragement to give this one a try? Don't overlook the importance of the orange zest or the arrowroot. The oil from the zest gives the chocolate a fresh kick, and the arrowroot thickens the mixture.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the half-and-half with the arrowroot, whisking until smooth.
- Place the remaining 1/2 cup of half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer and when the half-and-half begins to bubble around the edges, whisk in the sugar.

- Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in the chocolate until smooth.
- Pour into cups, top each with a piece of orange zest, and serve immediately.
