One of my eccentricities is a very, very strong aversion to wastefulness. I should probably put another "very" in there, just to be accurate. What this meant when I made
candied orange peels was that I couldn't bring myself to throw away the orange-infused syrup left behind at the end of the steeping process. Most of it went into the freezer to await further inspiration.
An idea hit me before the pot hit the sink, in fact. I added milk to what I couldn't scrape out and stirred it over low heat, then added cocoa powder and whisked it until it was incorporated.
Orange hot chocolate. My new favorite toasty beverage for winter. Yum.
