Also do remember to top your drink with chocolate chip, that gives a good taste as you sip on it.
Thinking about this, I guess it will surely make a good drink for breakfast along with a toast.

Notes
Typically Grand Marnier or Cointreau is added to make this drink. Since I don't have either, I simply used juice to replace.
The drink had the distint orange tang. However you shouldn't have this on heat for long.
