How to Make Caribbean Cocoa Tea (Traditional Chocolate Tea Recipe)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup grated raw cocoa
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 1/2 cups milk of your choice
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 stick cinnamon
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• Sweetener of choice

Instructions

1. 1

   Grate the chocolate into fine pieces.

2. 2

   Add water to the pot along with cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, and bring to boil

3. 3

   Add chocolate and stir it in.

4. 4

   Lower the heat to a simmer. Continue to stir occasionally to make the chocolate pieces not stick to the pot.

5. 5

   Simmer for about 6 to 10 minutes. It might need to go longer depending on the grated chocolate thickness. We want it to dissolve.

6. 6

   Add the milk and bay leaf to the pot and continue simmering for another 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Add sweetener to taste (I used about 1/3 cup of condensed milk)

8. 8

   Strain if you wish. It is not a must-do.
