Valentine's Chai Truffles
Valentine's Day happens every 14 February but we really think that it should be extended 365 days a year, for we shouldn't miss opportunities to show our other half love and appreciation. Nevertheless, it's always a good reminder and opportunity to pamper your significant other with goodies, especially handmade ones which are an expression of thoughtfulness and sincerity.
Hence, we've come up with a simple fail-safe recipe of Chai-Chocolate Truffles, infused with our very own blend of Masala Chai. Just a warning, these are extremely addictive and you won't be able to stop at one!
Ingredients:
280g chocolate
⅓ cups full fat milk/coconut milk (vegan option)
2 tsp 1872 Clipper Tea Masala Chai
5-6 cardamom pods, crushed
1 cinnamon stick
½ tsp cloves
1 anise star
½ inch ginger, peeled and grated
Raw cacao powder, to coat
Instructions
Add the milk, tea and spices into a small sauce pan, and bring to boil over low heat.
Simmer for 5-7 minutes, strain and discard the spices and tea.
In a medium pot add the chocolate and infused milk and melt over low heat (best using bain marie).
When all the chocolate is melted, mix to combine and remove from the heat.
Set aside to cool, then refrigerate for at least an hour.
Use a tea spoon, and your palms to shape the mixture into little truffles.
Roll them on a plate with cacao powder, then store into an airtight container in the refrigerator up to two weeks.
