Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium orange
6 whole cloves
2 cups water
2 cups milk
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons instant coffee crystals
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (or rum extract)
2 sticks cinnamon (2-inch long)

Steps:

  • Remove peel from orange using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler; set aside. Squeeze juice from the orange; add water, if necessary, to equal 1/3 cup. Set aside.
  • To make the spice bag, place orange peel, cinnamon, and cloves in a double layer square of cheesecloth. Bring up corners; tie with string. If you don't have cheesecloth, just put it in the liquid(below) and strain after heating.
  • In a large saucepan combine orange juice, spice bag, water, milk, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and coffee crystals. Bring to boiling; remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove spice bag. Stir in vanilla or rum extract.
