Ingredients

2 cups whole milk (or milk of choice)
2 teaspoons zest from medium orange
3 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

In a small pot, combine the cold milk and orange zest. Place over medium-low heat and gently heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil. Turn off the heat and let stand for about 5 minutes.
Strain into a glass, discard the orange zest, then return the milk to the pan. Place the pan over medium-low heat until warm, then whisk in the chopped chocolate. Continue whisking slowly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and frothy.
