Chocolate Covered Strawberry Latte
- Servings: 2
- Yield: 2 servings
What You Need
- The Conflicted Iced Tea Brewer or large 32oz wide mouth mason jar with paper tea bags
- Drinking glasses
- Ice cubes
- Belgian Chocolate tea concentrate
- Strawberry cold foam
- Frother/Blender
- Optional: Chocolate syrup for drizzle
- Optional: Fresh strawberries for garnish
Preparation
(Cold Brew Tea Concentrate)
Ingredients
- 36 oz cold, filtered water
- 6 tsp Belgian Chocolate loose-leaf tea
STEP 1
Add Belgian Chocolate loose-leaf tea into the infuser basket and insert into Conflicted Iced Tea brewer. If using a paper tea bag, place into mouth of a mason jar.
STEP 2
Pour filtered water into the Conflicted Iced Tea Brewer or mason jar. Allow tea to steep for 6-24 hours.
STEP 3
Remove your infuser or tea bag, then cover your tea concentrate and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Preparation
(Strawberry Cold Foam)
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1 tbsp strawberry puree (we like this one)
STEP 1
Pour heavy cream, 2% milk, and strawberry puree into a large mason jar and stir to combine.
STEP 2
Using an electric whisk, high speed blender, frother, etc. beat the mixture on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until frothy - then another minute until it thickens into a foam. Do not overbeat the foam to peaks.
Note
If the cold foam isn't whipping, ensure the heavy cream is cold enough and hasn't separated. Add one tbsp of heavy cream more at a time.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare two tall glasses by drizzling in chocolate syrup. Then fill each glass with ice cubes.
Step 2
Pour chilled Belgian Chocolate tea concentrate into your glasses until filled 3/4 the way.
Step 3
Pour the strawberry cold foam on top of iced tea. This should be thick enough to sit on top of the drink, not mix in.
Step 4
Garnish with a fresh strawberry on each glass and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Enjoy!
SHORT ON TIME?
We suggest cold steeping your tea for the strongest flavor - but if you're short on time, heat your water to 212 F and steep your tea for 7 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
