As is.  You only need a small amount to get the flavor.  Angelica works 
nicely too! And lots of others.  I have a stash of several of the small 
sampler bottles of liquors that I use for flavoring.

>>I have recently re-discovered orange flavor liquours too.

hmm...maybe some air dried orange zest mixed with unsweetened cocoa powder?
