Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tsp Earl Grey tea leaves
- 4 oz chocolate (preferably dark or semi-sweet)
- Heat the Milk: In a small pot over medium heat, warm the milk until steam rises and it becomes piping hot, but avoid bringing it to a boil to prevent burning or boiling over.
- Steep the Tea: Remove the pot from heat, add the Earl Grey tea leaves to the hot milk, cover, and let it steep for 10 minutes to infuse the milk with the tea’s delicate flavors.
- Strain the Milk: Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the milk to remove the tea leaves, then return the infused milk to the pot.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the pot back on medium heat, add the chocolate, and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Serve: Pour the Earl Grey hot chocolate into mugs and serve immediately for a warm and comforting beverage experience.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate to your taste preference for richer or milder hot chocolate.
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute part of the milk with cream.
- Optional toppings include whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder.
