    "content_text": "Chocolate over vanilla ice cream is about the most natural pudding there is, and this is a quick, caffeine-free take on it. The chocolate flake rooibos is steeped strong in a little milk with an extra spoon of cocoa, then poured warm over cold vanilla so it sets into a loose chocolate sauce where the two meet.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/rooibos/chocolate-flake-affogato/A fine grating of dark chocolate over the top finishes it. It takes minutes and tastes like a much fancier thing than it is.",
