My Goal to Drink More Tea

About 6 months ago, I challenged myself to drink more tea. Not only because of the health benefits but also for the routine and relaxation associated with tea.

I’m happy to report that it seems like I am definitely becoming a daily tea drinker. In fact, in addition to the nightly cup of tea that has become part of my wind down routine, I often find myself enjoying an additional cup of tea a few times a week in the afternoon.

Taking Tea Time Up a Notch

While I often enjoy just a simple cup of tea, there are times when I want something a bit more creative.

This Chocolate Peppermint Tea is perfect for those nights when I want to get a little bit “fancy” with my tea.

I love this recipe because it’s so simple to make and only requires 3 ingredients. Just the right amount of fancy but still a realistic recipe for any night of the week.

Chocolate Peppermint Tea

Using Stash Peppermint flavor tea, simply boil a cup (or pot for more than one serving) of water and steep the tea bag.

Once the tea is ready, you simply add a splash of chocolate extract. It gives just a hint of chocolate flavor without being overpowering or sweet. This tea is definitely more mint flavored than chocolate. Making it perfect for any time of day.

To top it off, I like to add a bit of frothed milk. I have this electric milk frother and highly recommend it if you are in the market for one. (Please note this is an affiliate link, meaning if you purchase this one I get a small percentage of the commission). If you don’t have a frother, you could simply add steamed milk or skip this step all together. Either way, the tea is still delicious.

The end result, a delicious cup of peppermint tea with just a hint of chocolate and a little frothed milk to make tea time delicious.
