Ingredients

2 servings

For the peppermint tea

2 cups water
4 peppermint tea bags

For the cocoa base

2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp maple syrup
¼ cup hot water
½ tsp pure vanilla extract

To blend and serve

1 cup ice cubes
¼ cup dairy free milk (optional)
Chef's tip
Use an unsweetened variety so it won't add sweetness, especially in savory dishes.

Instructions

1
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, add the 4 peppermint tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags, then let the tea cool to room temperature, about 15–20 minutes, or speed-chill by placing the saucepan in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes.
2
In the blender, whisk together the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and 1/4 cup hot water until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth with no dry clumps.
