Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Honey or sugar
- 1 cup Milk (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dark chocolate (grated or finely chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the fresh mint leaves to the boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it steep for 5 minutes.
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.
Strain the mint leaves from the water using a fine-mesh strainer or a tea strainer. Return the mint-infused water to the saucepan.
Stir the cocoa paste into the mint-infused water until fully combined.
Add 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar to the mixture and stir well to sweeten. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
Optional: If you prefer a creamier tea, stir in 1 cup of milk and heat gently, ensuring it does not boil.
Pour the chocolate mint tea into mugs and garnish with a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your decadent Chocolate Mint Tea!
