How To Make Hot Chocolate Tea

Hot Chocolate Infused With T - Oh How Grown Up Of Us!

  We love tea… no I mean we really L O V E tea, at times we are probably a little over the top, maybe even a tad obsessive, but can you blame us? And with Easter nearly upon us, chocolate is certainly surrounding our every move, trying to infiltrate our tea obsession. I mean, we do agree that a piece of decadent chocolate with a cuppa certainly brings happiness to our taste buds, but then that got us to thinking and sometimes the simplest discoveries are some of the most delicious! What if, we said to you ‘Infused hot chocolate with tea’ – Wait - don’t leave, this pure indulgent brew is not only super easy to make but is also OMGeee. The flavour combinations are truly limited by your zest for creativity. Try infusing pure vanilla bean seeds and peppermint or Chai and WOW. These two brews are truly only the beginning of where you can take your creativity. The trick to a perfect, decadent mug of tea infused with hot chocolate is the quality of the ingredients - so be sure to pick your favourite Madura brew, high quality chocolate and full cream milk! Now is not the time to worry about your weight J For an interesting T’wist we have chosen to work with Earl Grey – it adds a citrus note to the hot choc! Our tip: Definitely try this!
