Mrs. Claus's recipe, to make as a family in the Village kitchen.
Number of people: Serves 4
Remove the orange peel without the white pith. Count the time from when you start, and only move on once you get the result described. Amount for this step: 1 orange.
Water, peel, cinnamon and cloves, 10 minutes at a simmer. The liquid should simmer, not boil. Stay close for the first few minutes to set the heat, then check that nothing sticks to the bottom. Amounts for this step: 1 cinnamon stick; 2 cloves.
Off the heat. Stay off the heat: the residual warmth is enough. Putting the pan back on the heat at this point can split the cream, seize the chocolate or scramble the eggs.
Strain. Plate at the last minute. Taste for salt, pepper and acidity, then serve right away: a hot dish is served hot, a cold dish is served cold.
