Simple and Zesty Orange Hot Chocolate

Winter is knocking on the door! The cold temperature will arrive quickly and the snow carpet too! It’s a great season to make irresistible hot and comforting beverages to drink in front of a Christmas movie or even in front of a fireplace. 

This hot chocolate recipe stands out from classic recipes which usually contain cocoa and sugar. This one has a sweet and delicious touch… thanks to the orange! Honestly, who doesn’t like the combination of chocolate and orange? This mix of flavours is perfect for the holiday season. The smell of this hot chocolate reminds me of the little Christmas lights and gifts under the Christmas tree! 

The taste of orange in this beverage comes from the Zest organic cold-pressed juice from Dose Juice. Its ingredients are simple; orange, grapefruit, lemon and cardamom. This juice naturally sweetens this hot chocolate recipe so you don’t have to add a ton of sugar to make it delicious. Another advantage to incorporate this juice in this recipe is because of his high concentration of vitamin C; it provides 160% of your daily intake per 300 ml of juice. 

All the reasons are good for making this delicious and simple zesty orange hot chocolate recipe!
