Mrs. Claus's recipe, to make as a family in the Village kitchen.
Number of people: Serves 4
Juice, orange slices and spices in a saucepan. Set the heat so it simmers or browns without smoking. Stir the bottom once at the start so nothing sticks. Amount for this step: 1 orange.
10 minutes over low heat, without a hard boil. 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.
5 minutes 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.
Pour into heatproof glasses. Count the time from when you start, and only move on once you get the result described.
