Preparation steps

Preparing the juice

1

Wash the oranges and tangerines thoroughly under running water. Cut each piece in half on a cutting board. Squeeze the juice by hand using a manual or electric juicer: place a bowl under the juicer and press the fruit halves firmly, rotating them to extract as much juice as possible. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove pulp and seeds. You should end up with about 350–400 ml of fresh juice.

Ingredients: Orange, Mandarin
Use a manual citrus juicer or an electric juicer. If you don't have a strainer, you can leave a small amount of pulp for texture. A common mistake: squeezing the peel too hard makes the juice bitter — focus on the pulp.

Chocolate base

2

Break the white chocolate into small pieces or grate it with a knife. In a saucepan with a thick bottom (diameter 18-20 cm), place the milk and water. Heat over medium heat until small bubbles appear at the edges (temperature about 70–80°C) — do not bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the broken white chocolate, stirring with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and you achieve a smooth, shiny emulsion. Add honey and a pinch of salt, and stir for 30–60 seconds to combine the ingredients.

Ingredients: White chocolate, Milk, Water, Honey, Salt
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the chocolate from burning. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth. A classic mistake: too high a temperature can cause the white chocolate to seize — if you see lumps, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir vigorously until melted.

Mixing with juice

3

In a saucepan, gradually pour in the strained citrus juice into the smooth white base, stirring evenly. Start with 50–100 ml of juice, check the taste: if the base is too sweet, add more juice; if too sour, season with a teaspoon of honey. Add 2 teaspoons (4 g) of ground cinnamon and mix thoroughly — the cinnamon should integrate with the liquid and release its aroma. Heat everything for another 1–2 minutes on very low heat to allow the flavors to meld.

Ingredients: Orange, Mandarin, Ground cinnamon, Honey
Slowly pour in the juice and whisk with a whisk or a hand mixer to avoid separation. Check the taste before adding all the juice — fresh fruits vary in juiciness and sweetness.

Preparation of cinnamon foam

4

In a separate tall container (a frothing pitcher or a tall mug), heat 100 ml of milk with a pinch of cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon = 1 g), heating it until warm (60–65°C). Use a manual frother, electric frother, or a French whisk and vigorously whip the milk for 20–40 seconds until a thick, stable foam forms. If you don't have a frother, you can pour the warm milk into a jar, screw on the lid, and shake vigorously for 30–60 seconds, then remove the lid and let it sit for a moment to stabilize the foam.

Ingredients: Milk, Ground cinnamon
Use a metal milk jug or a tall container. If the milk is too hot, the foam may disappear — heat only until warm. A common mistake: whipping cold milk results in weaker foam.

Serving

5

Pour the hot drink into four larger glasses or mugs (about 200–220 ml each). It's easiest to pour in sequence using a ladle. On top of each serving, add a layer of cinnamon foam with a spoon to create a distinct creamy cap. If you're using whipped cream, try the milk foam first, followed by a thin cap of whipped cream for extra decoration.

Ingredients: Milk, White chocolate, Orange, Mandarin, Whipped cream 30%
It's best to use transparent glasses made of thick glass — the drink will look impressive thanks to the contrast of the light foam and the orange color. Be careful, the drink is hot — hold the glass by the handle.

Decoration

6

Garnish each serving with a pinch of cinnamon (the remaining 1/2 teaspoon), place a slice of orange on the rim of the glass, and add a piece of candied orange peel on the foam. Optionally, add a cinnamon stick as a stirrer. Serve immediately while the drink is hot and the foam is fresh.

Ingredients: Candied orange peel, Ground cinnamon, Orange
Use a sharp knife to prepare a thin slice of orange. If you are adding candied peel, placing it on the foam will give the drink a colorful and flavorful touch.

Serving and final tips

7

Serve immediately — the drink tastes best hot, with the foam still fluffy. If you want to prepare a version for children or non-alcoholic (although this is a non-alcoholic drink), simply skip the alcoholic additions (if you were considering them) and make sure the milk is well frothed.

Serve with a small plate and a teaspoon so guests can stir the foam. Do not reheat the drink for too long, as the white chocolate may change its consistency.

Fun Fact

💡

White chocolate, unlike milk and dark chocolate, does not contain cocoa mass — its main ingredient is cocoa butter, which gives it a creamy, silky texture perfect for winter drinks.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in transparent glasses to showcase the layers: orange base, creamy white base, and cinnamon foam on top. Add a thin slice of orange and a cinnamon stick as a stirrer to each cup. For a "luxury" version, add a thin layer of whipped cream and sprinkle with a bit of finely grated orange zest.

🥡 Storage

The drink is best consumed immediately. If there are leftovers, store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in a tightly sealed container and gently reheat over low heat, stirring. The foam will not last during storage — prepare fresh before serving.
