Ingredients
Tea Base
1 and 1/2 cups boiled milk
1 teaspoon tea powder
2 teaspoons sugar
Flavorings
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
A small piece of cinnamon stick
Instructions
Boil the Milk: Use pre-boiled milk, or if using fresh milk, boil it for a few minutes to ensure it is hot and ready for infusion.
Add Tea and Sugar: Stir in the tea powder and sugar into the boiling milk to start dissolving and blending the flavors.
Add Cinnamon and Cocoa: Incorporate the cinnamon piece and cocoa powder into the milk mixture for aroma and chocolatey richness.
Whisk Well: Whisk thoroughly to mix all ingredients uniformly and break up any cocoa clumps.
Simmer and Boil: Allow the mixture to simmer and come to a rolling boil, helping flavors meld and intensify.
Turn Off When Frothy: Once the tea is frothy and boiling, remove it from heat to prevent overcooking or burning.
Strain: Pour the tea through a metal strainer to remove tea leaves, cinnamon, and any clumps, ensuring a smooth drink.
Serve Hot: Pour the chocolate tea into cups and serve immediately while hot for the best taste experience.
Notes
You can adjust the sugar quantity to your preference or use honey as a natural sweetener.
For a stronger chocolate flavor, increase cocoa powder up to 1 teaspoon.
Substitute cinnamon stick with ground cinnamon if desired; use about 1/4 teaspoon ground.
Use full-fat or low-fat milk depending on your dietary preference; whole milk gives creamier texture.
This tea is best enjoyed fresh and hot to appreciate its rich flavor and aroma.
