• 2 ounces (1/2 cup) finely ground (in a coffee grinder) or grated bittersweet chocolate  
• 1 cup   milk (for best results, use 2 percent fat or higher)
• 2 oranges , peel only
• Whipped cream , for garnish
• Orange peel or slice, for garnish

In a saucepan, combine the chocolate and milk, add the orange peels and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Strain the peels and discard. Garnish with whipped cream and orange peel or slice. Serve immediately.

Recommended ingredient: Buy quality chocolate bars, such as Callebaut and Valrhona—available at grocery stores or online at chocolatesource.com.
