EARL GREY TEA CAKE WITH DARK CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE ZEST
Loose Earl Grey tea stirred into buttery cake batter adds a sweet, floral essence that's subtle but lovely. A little dark chocolate and orange zest makes this cake extra special. While you could use chocolate chips, using chocolate chopped from a bar produces the best result: The varying sizes of chopped chocolate blend in nicely without overpowering the delicate tea flavor.

Steps:
- Prepare the frosting: In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in the tea, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids, and chill the remaining cream until completely cold, at least 1 hour.
- Prepare the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, tea, baking powder and salt.
- In large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the orange zest and beat to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Beat in the flour mixture on low, until just combined, then beat in the milk. (Don't overmix.) Add the chocolate and fold it in using a spatula. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake just until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for about 15 minutes. Then tip the cake out onto the rack to cool completely.
- To finish the frosting, add the remaining 1/4 cup/60 milliliters cream and the confectioners' sugar to the tea cream. With an electric mixer on medium, beat the cream mixture until medium-stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mascarpone and beat just until stiff peaks form. (Do not overmix.) Top the cake with the frosting to serve. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; let come to room temperature before serving.
PEPPERMINT TEA CHOCOLATE CAKE
Made with a cup of mint tea, this is a very moist cake. Since there's a hint of mint in the cake, I drizzle the top with a chocolate-mint glaze.

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 ! Please let me klnow if you like it! :-)

Steps:
- Place water and mints into pot or sauce pan and bring to boil on medium high heat.
- Reduce heat by 1/4 and add milk. Stir slowly every now and then (You reduce the heat so the milk will not burn).

- This should ensure the added milk is hot enough and the mints are all melted.
- Pour into coffee cup/s and add tea bags. Let tea bags steep for as long as desired.
- Remove tea bags and add sugar.
- Add 4 teaspoons of Ovaltine; stir.
- Enjoy ! Cation: Chocolate Tea will be HOT.
SIMPLE CHOCOLATE CHAI TEA
I had this in a local coffee shop and became hooked. However, I couldn't always get there to have some, and it was a bit pricey, so I thought maybe I could duplicate it. This is the result and it's quite good, easy and cheap. I guessed on the size of the tea packets, really...they don't exactly label those! Note, chai teas usually contain a bit of caffeine.

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better your tea will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and avoid using chocolate chips, which often contain fillers and additives.
- Don't boil the milk. Boiling the milk will make it lose its flavor and nutrients. Instead, heat it gently over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
- Add the chocolate to the hot milk slowly. This will help to prevent the chocolate from clumping. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Sweeten the tea to taste. If you like your tea sweet, add sugar or honey to taste. You can also add other flavorings, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
- Serve the tea immediately. Chocolate tea is best enjoyed hot and fresh. If you need to store it, let it cool completely and then refrigerate it for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Chocolate tea is a delicious and comforting drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a warm and inviting beverage that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate tea a try. You won't be disappointed!
