Valentine's Tea Blend

Valentine's Day Tea Cocktail

Using a chilled a martini or other cocktail glass dip the rim in water and then swirl the rim in a plate of chocolate sugar until coated.  I used 1 tsp cocoa to 3 tsp sugar.

Put 1oz of chilled Valentine's tea vodka in the prepared glass and fill with champagne (2-3 oz).  Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Tea White Chocolate Mousse Tarts

(in all honesty - this recipe came from the Keebler box of graham cracker crusts - we only added the tea infusing instructions to the recipe)

Ingredients:

1 can sweet condensed milk
6 1oz squares white choc, chopped
½ tsp almond extract
2 cups whipped cream
2 Tbsp Valentine's Day Blend Tea
2 pkgs Keebler graham pie crusts

Pour 1 cup of cream into a glass cup and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds until hot.  Add the 2 Tbsp of Valentine's Day tea to the cream and let steep for 4 minutes.  Strain out the tea leaves.

Chill your mixing bowl, beaters and the tea cream.

In a saucepan, add the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate.  Cook and stir over low heat until melted. Remove from the heat and add almond extract. Cool, stirring occasionally.

In the chilled bowl, beat the cream and the tea cream until stiff peaks form.  Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.

Spoon into crusts and refrigerate 4 hours until set.

Need a fast dessert?  You can also make the infused tea cream, then whip it and layer it in parfait glasses with fresh berries and topped with chocolate shavings.  Quick and delicious!
