The drink I decided to make is called Lestrange's Earl Grey Hot Chocolate. The recipe starts by making Earl Grey simple syrup: for each cup of syrup, you start by placing one cup of water, one cup of sugar, and two Earl Gray teabags in a saucepan, simmering over low to medium heat until the sugar dissolves. You then remove the saucepan to heap, let the teabags steep for a further five to ten minutes, and remove the teabags; you can then move the syrup to a container and allow it to cool.
To make a cup of the hot chocolate, you put two ounces of dark chocolate (70-85%, depending on your preferences; you can go lower if you'd rather have a sweeter or milkier drink but I personally wouldn't recommend it), a cup of milk and a tablespoon of the Earl Gray syrup into a saucepan and heat it on medium until the liquid is hot and the chocolate has completely melt it in. Move the hot chocolate into a cup and add whatever accoutrements you prefer to add into hot chocolate before serving!
