Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your hot chocolate will taste. Use real oranges, high-quality white chocolate, and whole milk or cream.
Zest your oranges before juicing them: This will release the essential oils from the orange peel, which will give your hot chocolate a more intense orange flavor.
Don't overheat the milk: Scald the milk until it is just simmering, but do not let it boil. Boiling the milk will cause it to lose its flavor and become thin.
Add the white chocolate chips slowly: Whisk the white chocolate chips into the hot milk a little at a time, until they are melted and smooth.
Serve immediately: Orange white hot chocolate is best served immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.
