I’m all about flavored iced tea recipes, but when I first heard about chocolate mint tea, I thought whoah, that sounds amazing. But what in the world is chocolate tea?

Answer: it’s tea with cocoa powder in it, plain and simple.

Peppermint iced tea is my all time favorite summer drink, with a tie between hot peppermint tea , and hot chocolate for favorite winter drink. Which makes Chocolate-mint tea pretty much perfect, right? I sure think so!

After trying many different variations, this is my favorite, although you might catch me drinking an all water version now and then, I love the extra body the milk gives this drink.
