- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate
- Pieces of orange rind from half an orange plus extra for garnishing
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

- Strain out orange peels.
- Chop baking chocolate and add to the saucepan.
- Stir often until chocolate is melted through.
- Ladle into mugs and garnish with an orange peel.
Notes
I used a semi-sweet baking bar but it didn't make a full cup so I also included some semi-sweet chocolate chips to total a cup.
I have this recipe set to 8 servings, but if you like a larger portion (the mug I'm showing is really large) you will only get about 4 servings.
