10 small Finely grated orange peel
2 1/2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
15 cups Milk
2 1/2 cups Whipping cream
Grated chocolate
30 Cinnamon sticks (3″)

Add the remaining milk and heat through gently until piping hot, again stirring frequently. Whisk the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs or heatproof glasses. Top with whipped cream. Sprinkle with grated chocolate and add a cinnamon stick to each one for stirring.
To add a a decorative touch, winding a curly strip of orange peel around each cinnamon stick.
