teas.co.uk · 10 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Cotterley Green Mint Tea
• 80ml water heated to 80C
• 220ml whole milk
• 35g dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dark cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon whipped cream
• 1 300ml mug

Method

1. Brew the tea bag in 80ml of water at about 80C for three minutes, then lift it out.
2. Warm the milk in a pan until it just steams; do not boil it.
3. Whisk the cocoa and chopped dark chocolate into the milk until smooth and glossy.
4. Pour into a mug and stir the mint tea concentrate through.
5. Top with whipped cream.
6. Brew the tea at 80C, not boiling, so the green base and mint stay smooth rather than bitter.
