Rose White Hot Chocolate

There's a particular kind of grey afternoon that only a proper hot chocolate can fix. We've taken Runaway Rose, one of our most-loved blends, and paired it with white chocolate for something delicate and delicious. Dairy or plant-based, either way works beautifully – for our plant-based version, we used Boring Oat Milk (Barista Grade) and be happy chocolate's Vegan White Chocolate. Garnish with rose petals, and take a moment before the day catches up with you. Ingredients (per cup) 2 Runaway Rose tea temples (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf) 150ml hot water 200ml milk (plant-based or dairy) 30g white chocolate (plant-based or dairy) Rose petals, for garnish Method Pour the hot water over the tea and infuse for 6 minutes...

Stir in a tablespoon of honey. Top up with steamed/frothed milk (we love it with oat milk!) Grate a little chocolate on top. So delicious! See how it's done
