Katie’s “London Chocolate”

This chocolate twist on a London Fog is pure comfort and a softer alternative to a mocha if you’re looking for caffeine without espresso.

• 2 bags of Numi Aged Earl Grey - Bergamot Assam Black Tea
• 6 oz. of Hot Water
• 2 tbs. of Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate & Cocoa Powder

• ¾ oz. of Monin Vanilla Bean Sauce
• Whipped Cream
• ¼ oz. (or one pump) of Monin Winter Citrus Syrup

Directions:
Steep the tea in 6 ounces of hot water for five minutes to create a concentrate. While you wait for the tea, whisk the chocolate with the milk and steam it. Stir ½ oz. of Vanilla Bean Sauce into the tea, then add the steamed hot cocoa. Top the drink with whipped cream, Winter Citrus syrup and the remaining ¼ oz. of Vanilla Bean Sauce drizzle for a decadent touch.

Yield: 1, 16 oz. Drink

Ingredients:

Malorie’s “Everything’s Comin’ Up Roses”

I have an affinity for rose scented baths and when the chilly fall weather starts to blow through, those are all I want. This White Rose milky tea is my version of that relaxation in a cup.

Yield: 1, 10 oz. Drink

Ingredients:
• 1 bag of Numi White Rose - Velvet Garden White Tea
• ¼ oz. (or 1 pump of) Torani Coconut Signature Syrup
• 2 oz. of Warmed Oatly Barista Edition Oat Milk (or cream)
• 8 oz. of Rose Water

Directions: Place about 20 rinsed rose petals in the bottom of a french press and pour hot water over them. Let them steep for 5 minutes. Depress the plunger and pour the rose water into a cup. Steep the tea in the cup of rose water for 2-3 minutes (as directed on the package) and remove the tea bag. Add the coconut syrup. Slightly warm the oat milk or cream and pour it over top of the tea. Use a couple petals as a garnish.

It is really important to verify that the rose water used is edible and does not have any additives. I chose to make my own because it is easy, and a great use for roses after they’ve sat on my counter a little too long.
