I love cold and hot cocoas. I especially like the ones that are spicy. This certainly hits the spot. I hope that you will enjoy this lovely treat. Make ice cubes with your leftover coffee. It really adds extra flavour to your cold drinks.

Doubled your recipe for the 2 of us, but only added the coffee ice cubes to the cup that my other half enjoyed, & even though I had it without that ingredient, it was very enjoyable, & I'll definitely be making this again! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Tag]

Wonderful! Smooth and chocolaty with the exotic refreshing flavor of cardamon. I couldn't really taste the orange but that didn't bother me. I also added 3 Splenda packets.

Kato gives us another total winner with this recipe :D. I doubt that I would ever have thought and adding cardamom to this clasic flavor combo. The great part is that it's heavenly at first sip but as the coffee cubes begin to melt slowly into the mix the flavor just gets richer and deeper as you go. I replaced the honey with Splenda, used skim milk and fat free liquid coffee creamer for the cream (which I added after heating the milk). Bravo.
