📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

2. Add the fresh mint leaves to the boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it steep for 5 minutes.

3. While the mint is steeping, in a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder with a few tablespoons of the hot mint-infused water to create a smooth paste.

4. Strain the mint leaves from the water using a fine-mesh strainer or a tea strainer. Return the mint-infused water to the saucepan.

5. Stir the cocoa paste into the mint-infused water until fully combined.

6. Add 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar to the mixture and stir well to sweeten. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.

7. Optional: If you prefer a creamier tea, stir in 1 cup of milk and heat gently, ensuring it does not boil.

8. Pour the chocolate mint tea into mugs and garnish with a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate if desired.

9. Serve hot and enjoy your decadent Chocolate Mint Tea!
