Earl Grey Hot Chocolate

This is a drink that we will feature in the fall. We ended up grating dark chocolate and using freshly squeezed orange juice but here's the original recipe.

Serves 2

If you can’t find pure orange oil, add about 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest to the tea and steep as usual.  strain before serving.

6 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa
¼ cup agave nectar
2 tablespoons loose-leaf premium Earl Grey tea
2 cups boiling water
1-2 drops pure orange oil (optional)

1. Place cocoa and agave in a heatproof pitcher.  Place tea in a second pitcher or bowl and pour 2 cups boiling water over it.  steep for about 3 minutes.  strain over cocoa and agave nectar and add orange oil, if using.  Whisk until slightly frothy.  Pour into two cups and enjoy
