Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan or pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Peppermint tea bag
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 tbsp Hot chocolate powder
  • Whipped Cream optional
  • Peppermint candy or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, gently heat the milk over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil to avoid scalding. If you're making one cup, use only 1 cup of milk.
  • Once the milk is hot, remove the saucepan from heat. Add the peppermint tea bags to the milk, and let them steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
  • Remove the tea bags from the milk. Add the hot chocolate mix to the infused milk and stir well until the chocolate is completely dissolved.
  • Pour the Peppermint Hot Chocolate Tea into cups. If desired, top with whipped cream and garnish with peppermint candy or chocolate shavings.
  • Sip and savor the warming, comforting blend of peppermint and chocolate.

Notes

The calorie count can vary based on the ingredients used, especially the type of milk and hot chocolate mix. Here's a rough estimate for one cup:
  • Skim Milk: About 110 calories (80 cal from milk + 30 cal from hot chocolate mix)
  • Whole Milk: About 180 calories (150 cal from milk + 30 cal from hot chocolate mix)
  • Plant-Based Milk (Almond, Soy): About 80-120 calories (50-90 cal from milk + 30 cal from hot chocolate mix)
Adding whipped cream and extra toppings will increase the calorie count. For a lighter version, use low-calorie or sugar-free hot chocolate mix and skip the whipped cream.
