Who doesn’t love a delicious drink that combines the best of both worlds?

Chocolate milk tea is a sweet, creamy, and slightly decadent beverage that’s perfect for any time of the day.

Whether you're a tea enthusiast, a chocolate lover, or just looking for a new drink to try, this recipe is sure to hit the spot. Let’s dive into how to make this delightful drink!

Chocolate Milk Tea Recipe

What you need:

  • 1 cup of water
  • 1-2 tea bags of black tea (depending on how strong you like your tea)
  • 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste)
  • Ice (optional, if you want it cold)

What to do:

1. Brew the Tea: Start by boiling the water in a kettle or a pot. Once it’s boiling, pour it over the black tea bags in a cup or teapot. Let it steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. If you prefer a milder tea flavor, stick to 3 minutes.

2. Prepare the Chocolate Mix: While the tea is steeping, take a small saucepan and heat the milk over medium heat. You want the milk to be hot but not boiling. Add the cocoa powder and sugar to the hot milk, and whisk it well until the cocoa and sugar are completely dissolved. This is your chocolate milk base.

3. Combine the Tea and Chocolate Milk: Remove the tea bags from your brewed tea and pour the tea into a large mug or a heatproof glass. Slowly add the hot chocolate milk to the tea, stirring gently to combine. Taste your chocolate milk tea and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar.

4. Serve Your Chocolate Milk Tea: You can enjoy your chocolate milk tea hot or cold. If you prefer it hot, simply pour it into your favorite mug and enjoy. If you want it cold, let the mixture cool slightly, then pour it over a glass filled with ice.

Extra Tips

  • Quality Matters: Use good quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and health benefits. Look for chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content. Maybe one of these Cocoa Powders at Amazon will be perfect for you.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste. You can also use maple syrup, honey, or a natural sweetener like stevia if you prefer.
  • Add some extras: For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
  • Boba: If you love bubble tea, you can add cooked tapioca pearls (boba) to the bottom of your glass before pouring in the chocolate milk tea.
  • Whipped cream: Top your drink with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a fancy touch.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of tea and milk to find your perfect combination. 

Enjoy!
