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)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the fresh mint leaves to the boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it steep for 5 minutes.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 5
Stir the cocoa paste into the mint-infused water until fully combined.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar to the mixture and stir well to sweeten. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
Step 7
Optional: If you prefer a creamier tea, stir in 1 cup of milk and heat gently, ensuring it does not boil.
Step 8
Pour the chocolate mint tea into mugs and garnish with a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate if desired.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your decadent Chocolate Mint Tea!
