GROWN-UP HOT CHOCOLATE
Warm, thick, and creamy, this hot chocolate is everything it should be. What makes this a little more "grown-up" is that it isn't overly sweet and has a touch of spice. The nutmeg and chipotle flavors are faint and just the right touch. Orange zest is the perfect complement to the other flavors. A special homemade hot chocolate.

Steps:
- To prepare, combine milk and chocolate in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Whisk constantly until the chocolate melts and the mixture comes to a simmer. Then whisk in chipotle powder and orange zest.
- Pour into cups. Dust with nutmeg and serve.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your hot chocolate. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Use whole milk or cream: Whole milk or cream will give your hot chocolate a richer, creamier flavor. If you're using skim milk, you may want to add a little bit of butter or oil to help thicken it up.
- Sweeten to taste: Some people like their hot chocolate very sweet, while others prefer it less sweet. Add sugar or another sweetener to taste.
- Add a little spice: A little bit of spice can add a nice depth of flavor to your hot chocolate. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom.
- Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings: Whipped cream and chocolate shavings are a classic garnish for hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and richness.
Conclusion:
With these tips, you can make a delicious grown-up hot chocolate that will warm you up from the inside out. So next time you're looking for a cozy and comforting drink, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
