I think you could try drying out a strip of the outer skin of lemon/orange in the oven on a low temp for a while it might grate better! the amount you would normal add straight to the TM when grating fresh, maybe a little extra! Good luck!

I served a delicious hot chocolate one night when I forgot to put the cornflour (30g) into a chocolate custard.  Guests loved it!  One couple whod just returned from Europe said it rivalled the hot chocolates they'd had in coffee houses in Italy and France.

Here's the recipe for HOT CHOC then - just a variation on EDC custard:

60g raw sugar, 100g dark choc - MILL until you can tell from the sound it has been processed enough.
2eggs, 500 ml full cream milk

Enjoy!

Tried this today with 50% Chocolate and it worked well, kids drank it up ;D My son discovered today that he likes Marshmallows with Hot Chocolate (he already liked Marshmallows but was reticent about trying it dunked in anything)

My kids had this yesterday - but I also added 1/2C pureed cauliflower to the mix (shhhhhhh, don't tell them!! ;) ) and used a bit(approx 1/4C) less milk, they thought they were getting a very special treat, and I got more veg into them!!!!!
I did a double recipe to get the 2 serves.

That's what I call lateral thinking. Thank goodness TMX wasn't around when I was a kid. ;)
