This tea-infused frozen hot chocolate blends chilled black tea, cocoa, milk, and ice into a chocolate drink. Despite its name, it is served cold, with optional whipped cream and chocolate garnish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups strongly brewed black tea, strained and chilled
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar, adjusted to taste
- 1 cup dairy or non-dairy milk
- 2 cups ice cubes
- Whipped cream, optional
- Chocolate shavings or chocolate chips, optional
Choose your preferred black tea. The original recipe suggests Fog Earl Grey or Beach House Teas English Breakfast.
Instructions
Prepare 2 cups of black tea using your chosen tea’s brewing directions. For a stronger flavor, use more leaves rather than extending the recommended steeping time. Strain out the leaves, allow the tea to cool, and refrigerate until cold.
Add the chilled tea, cocoa powder, sugar, milk, and ice to a blender suitable for crushing ice.
Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the sugar if desired. Add more ice if you prefer a thicker consistency.
Pour into glasses and top with whipped cream, if using.
Add chocolate shavings or chocolate chips, if desired.
Serve immediately.
Use dairy or non-dairy milk according to your preference, and check the ingredients of your chosen toppings if accommodating dietary needs.
