Earl Grey Hot Chocolate
This decadent and luxuriously smooth Earl Grey Hot Chocolate is great for enjoying on a chilly day. A combination of Dutch-processed cocoa powder and Valrhona feves creates an ultra rich and chocolatey drink that’s insanely addicting!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (350 ml) whole milk
- 3 Earl Grey teabags
- 3 oz (85 g) high-quality 70% dark chocolate preferably Valrhona feves
- 1 tsp Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- ⅛ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- Add the milk and teabags to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, turn off the heat and let the tea steep for 10 minutes.
- Remove the teabags, pressing them against the side of the pot to extract all the liquid.
- Add the dark chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to the milk and turn the heat back on to medium-low. Whisk constantly until melted and smooth.
- Turn off the heat and use a handheld milk frother to froth the hot chocolate.
- Pour into 2 mugs and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
- Whipped Cream: Using an electric hand mixer, whip ¼ cup (60 ml) of heavy cream with ½ tbsp of powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
