Description

This hot orange drink is perfect for those days with a need for some extra vitamin C, or you just feel like drinking something sweet and spicy.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup orange juice, 250ml
  • 1/2 lime, juice only
  • zest from half an orange
  • 1 tsp chili, minced. serrano for mild, cayenne for hot*
  • 1 tsp brown sugar (I tend to heap it)

Instructions

  1. Mince your chili of choice (or ginger, see notes). Zest the orange. Add all the ingredients to a small saucepan. Heat on medium heat until sugar has dissolved, while stirring.
  2. Strain into your favorite cup, and serve warm.

Notes

* If you've got a really bad sore throat, I would recommend changing the chili with ginger. Use 1 tsp minced fresh ginger instead, and you will still get that spicy kick!
