    Best Earl Grey Hot Chocolate Recipe

    Dec 27, 2018 · 11 Comments

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Are you team Peppermint Hot Chocolate? I can honestly say that I am not a fan. I'm not sure who coined Peppermint Mocha or Cocoa to be the holiday drink, but I am not sold! Let me introduce you to the Best Earl Grey Hot Chocolate ever! It is decadent. It is aromatic! And Earl Grey tea infusion gives the old classic hot chocolate a lovely new twist!

    It is SO cold outside right now and it's expected to snow overnight - two whole centimeters! I know right?! Crazy! So imagine yourself on a winter's night with your coziest socks and a cup of hot cocoa (made from scratch), warming you up!

    This tea infused hot chocolate can be easily adapted to different tea flavours like lavender or rooibos. You are not limited to just Earl Grey. I particularly like using these Vanilla Earl Grey loose leaves tea. I love the sweet and floral perfume. This tea has a light almost citrusy flavour with a flowery smooth velvety creamy full body. It is absolutely delicious when enjoyed on its own or paired with this Vegan Double Chocolate Protein Fluff and this Sugar-Free Rose Latte.

    This Earl Grey Hot Chocoalte is the perfect sweet dessert drink this winter!

      Not a combination that I've ever considered before but that bergamot really hits the spot!

      I've made hot chocolate with coconut milk before and it was delicious. But would never have thought to add Earl Grey. What a fun idea.

      This Earl Grey hot chocolate was the perfect way to start my day today. One might think it's not the right time of the year for hot chocolate but it's been rainy and downright chilly here in Kansas lately. I was so pleased to see that I already had the ingredients on hand and that it was so simple to prepare. Also caffeine in hot chocolate = genius!
