Earl Grey Hot Chocolate

Break away from heavy, creamy hot chocolate and go native! Before Europeans arrived on the scene in Mexico, chocolate was enjoyed dairy free. In this truly classic (and much healthier) hot chocolate, just a hint of old-world sophistication in the form of Earl Grey tea brings the two continents together. If you can’t find pure orange oil, add about 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest to the tea and steep as usual. Strain out before serving.
