Hot chocolate with TEA!?!? Yes.

I just reblogged a post that reminded me that not only is hot chocolate tea a thing – but it’s a great way to flavor plain hot chocolate!

Here’s my recipe:
– ½ mug heated milk
– ½ mug appropriate tea temp water
– *for richer flavor, use 2/3 mug milk and 1/3 mug water
– 1 teabag (black, herbal, and rooibos teas work best)
– hot chocolate mix
– *depending on how sweet you like it, you may want to add sugar or even honey

First brew your chosen tea STRONG, it has to compete with chocolate. I usually double or triple my brew time as long as the tea doesn’t suffer. While that’s brewing, heat your milk and add your plain hot chocolate – remember you want the tea to be done brewing at the same time as you’re mixing the hot chocolate. Remove the bag and slowly combine the tea and hot chocolate.

Recommended teas:

Vanilla

Red velvet

oh fucking what

I’m trying this immediately.
