Cooking Method
- Bring the water to a boil and steep the black tea for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags or strain the loose tea.
- While the tea is hot, whisk in the chopped dark chocolate and cocoa powder until completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ground chili powder, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Add the whole milk and heat gently over low heat until warm. Do not boil. For an iced version, allow the mixture to cool completely.
- If using tapioca pearls, cook them according to the package instructions and coat them with the brown sugar syrup.
- Fill serving glasses or mugs with the tapioca pearls if using. Add ice cubes for a cold drink or leave them out for a hot version.
- Pour the chocolate milk tea into the glasses or mugs.
- Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, a dusting of cocoa powder, and a tiny pinch of chili flakes if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the rich chocolate flavor with a gentle spicy finish.
