Notes
-
- Ensure that all of your equipment is scrupulously clean. This includes the saucepan, spoons, whisk, bowl or jug, sieve and storage bottles. Any trace of acidic substances, such as vinegar or citrus juice will cause the liqueur to split (curdle).
- Strain the liqueur through a nut bag or a fine-meshed sieve to ensure it is silky smooth.
- As the drink sits in the fridge some of the chocolate will settle at the bottom of the bottle. Give it a robust shake before pouring.
- Do not garnish your drink with a slice of fresh orange as the acidity in the fruit will cause the liqueur to split in the glass - yuk.
