ORANGE-SCENTED HOT CHOCOLATE
When the use of chocolate became common in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, chocolateras opened in Madrid, serving hot chocolate to weary voyagers and the homeless. In Spain, the warming elixir is distinguished by the addition of spice, but especially by its rich, frothy texture, achieved by heating and beating it several times. Traditionally, a wooden hand mill called a molinillo is used, but a whisk works as well.
2 cups milk
4 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 2 by 1-inch orange peel strips (orange part only)
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until chocolate melts. Increase heat and bring just to boil, stirring often. Remove from heat and whisk until frothy. Return to heat and bring just to a boil again. Repeat heating and whisking once again. Discard orange peel. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Before serving, bring just to boil, remove from heat and whisk until frothy.) Pour hot chocolate into mugs.
Makes 2 servings.

Chocolate powder and milk. That's the only thing that will work. If you have chocolate syrup you can use that too. Your best bet is to go buy some hot chocolate mix packets.

milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sugar, I'm not sure of the amounts, heat the milk put about equal amounts of the cocoa powder and sugar in a separate bowl and add a little bit of cold milk to make a paste. then add this to the hot milk. You might have to play with the measurements to get it how you like it.
