Indulge in the comforting and aromatic flavors of Earl Grey Hot Chocolate, a luxurious twist on traditional hot cocoa. This creamy beverage combines the floral notes of Earl Grey tea with rich melted chocolate, making it the perfect treat to warm up chilly days or impress guests with a sophisticated hot drink.

Ingredients

Liquids

  • 470 g milk, dairy or non-dairy
  • 235 g heavy cream

Tea

  • 4 Earl Grey tea bags

Chocolate

  • 150 g milk or dark chocolate, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk and Cream: In a small pot, combine the milk and heavy cream. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, watching closely for small bubbles to form along the edges of the pot.
  2. Steep the Tea: Remove the pot from heat and immediately add the Earl Grey tea bags. Cover the pot and allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes to infuse the creamy mixture with delicate bergamot flavors.
  3. Extract Tea and Add Chocolate: After steeping, press the tea bags against the side of the pot with a spatula or through a fine mesh sieve to extract all the flavorful liquid. Discard the tea bags. Return the pot to low heat and stir in the finely chopped chocolate until it has completely melted and the mixture is smooth and velvety.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the rich Earl Grey hot chocolate into mugs. For an extra indulgent touch, top with toasted marshmallows or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor—choose milk chocolate for a sweeter taste or dark chocolate for a richer, more intense cocoa experience.
  • If using non-dairy milk, select varieties with a creamy consistency, such as oat or cashew milk, to maintain the luxurious texture.
  • To toast marshmallows, use a kitchen torch or briefly broil them in the oven for a golden, caramelized finish.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for serving a crowd.
  • For a stronger tea flavor, steep the tea bags slightly longer but be cautious not to make the drink bitter.
