teas.co.uk · 8 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 4 heaped teaspoons of Islands Mint Hot Chocolate Powder (about 25g)
• 80ml warm whole milk (for the chocolate base)
• 150ml cold whole milk (for the stretch out)
• 30ml shot of freshly pulled espresso, cooled to lukewarm
• 1 tall 400ml glass, chilled in the freezer for ten minutes
• Enough cubed ice (about 250g)
• 1 small saucepan
• 1 small balloon whisk
• 1 wide paper or metal straw

Method

1. Chill a tall glass in the freezer.
2. Warm the 80ml of milk gently, then whisk in the mint hot chocolate powder until smooth.
3. Cool the base down, standing the pan in cold water.
4. Pack the glass with ice and pour the cooled mint chocolate base over.
5. Slowly pour the cooled espresso over the back of a spoon to layer it on the chocolate.
6. Top with the cold milk, again over the back of the spoon.
7. Serve with a straw, and stir before drinking.
8. Tip: cool the espresso first; a hot shot melts the ice and muddies the layers.
