Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags)
- 1.5 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 2 teaspoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or dairy-free alternative)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- as needed Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- as needed Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle simmer in a medium-sized saucepan or kettle.
Add the black tea leaves (or tea bags) and simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the tea to steep.
Stir in the instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, and sugar until fully dissolved and well mixed.
Reduce the heat to low, and pour in the milk. Stir gently and heat through without bringing it to a boil.
Add the vanilla extract and give it a final stir to blend the flavors.
Strain the tea mixture into mugs to remove the tea leaves (skip this step if using tea bags and they've been removed).
Optional: Top each cup with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for an indulgent finish.
Serve hot and enjoy your rich, flavorful Mocha Tea!
