In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the black tea leaves or tea bags, and steep for 3–4 minutes. If using tea bags, remove them after steeping; if using loose tea leaves, strain the tea into a clean saucepan.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar until fully dissolved.
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to combine. Allow the mixture to warm through, but do not let it boil.
Stir in the vanilla extract and give the tea a final whisk. Taste and adjust the sweetness, if needed.
Pour the chocolate tea into cups and garnish with grated dark chocolate, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
