Chocolate Tea
"I wrote this because there are an astounding lack of chocolate tea recipes on the internet.
The first time I heard about Chocolate Tea was doing a web search on Chocolate. There seem to be a few companies out there who sell chocolate tea. I like to stay up late and had run out of coffee. I was in real need for a good tasting caffene beverage. I first thought chocolate tea would be yucky. We are conditioned to accept chocolate with coffee as a rule but not tea. I was very mistaken!
Tea and Chocolate goes very well with each other and it is also very good for your body. Both Tea and Chocolate are loaded with antioxidents. You may however not want to give this to small children because of the caffene.
Not having a recipe to follow, I created one. (This One) I used these ingredients because I had them on hand and it was quicker than hunting around for my pepermint extract or messing with my powered Cocoa.
This being said, If you do want to use powered cocoa or pepermint extract instead of the Ovaltine and Lifesavers please do so. Experiment. This recipe is "OpenSource" :-)
You will have to adjust the sugar levels to taste. If you like you can even omit the mints. I used them and I find it gives the beverage that spceial something.
This recipe makes one large coffee cup of beverage.
If you use regular size coffee cups you may get two servings out of this if serving each person one serving each.
To serve 1 serving each to 2 or 3 people using large coffee cups, double or tripple the recipie accodingly
Enjoy !

I have made Chocolate mint tea for many years. You can find packets for this item in a few countries but not here in America. Here is the best tasting and recipe ever! Buy high quality mint green tea if you can find it. For those who do not have access to high quality green tea with mint, then Bigelow brand green tea with mint is pretty good enough and you can get it pretty much anywhere here in the America. Make the green tea as you should by making sure not to over or under heat the tea leaves. Remove tea leaves when tea is ready and has steeped the correct amount of time. At the same time as making the tea, make simple hot chocolate either from powder for simple simple or on the stove melting chocolate with in a half and half water milk style. Add small can of condensed sweet milk like eagle brand in a 1 quart hot liquid approved container. Add the tea to this container and mix completely. Add equal amount of Hot Chocolate to the tea mixture. Mix again. Pour into cup and enjoy. If you want more spice in the drink you can add one or two more drops of Mint extract. You can add other spices like nutmeg or cinnamon if you so desire it as well. There is unlimited variants to making tea. But for me, making hot chocolate from a high fat chocolate bulk bar then combining with a good to high quality mint green tea is the bomb!
