Ingredients

Earl Grey Hot Chocolate

Cream Topping

  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

MAKE EARL GREY HOT CHOCOLATE

  • Heat milk and heavy cream.
    In a saucepan, simmer milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream on low heat until small bubbles form along the sides of the pan. Take off heat.
  • Steep Earl Grey in hot milk for 10 minutes. Discard tea sachets.
  • Return to low heat and stir in chocolate, sugar, and salt.
    Stir until chocolate has completely melted.

MAKE WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING

  • Whip together heavy cream and sugar.
    Combine 1/3 heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in a tall cup. Whisk using a handheld milk frother until cream thickens. It should take seconds. Stop before stiff peaks form.

ASSEMBLE DRINK

  • Divide hot chocolate into two cups and top each with cream topping.
    Garnish with grated chocolate.

Notes

  • Don't boil the heavy cream and milk. Just bring it to a simmer to avoid burning the milk.
  • The cream topping is best when it's only slightly whipped and the heavy cream has thickened a bit. Whip until you get soft peaks.
  • If you don't have a handheld milk frother, you can whip the heavy cream using an immersion blender.
