Since Assam tea has an earthy flavor, you probably wouldn’t expect to find it in a chocolate recipe. But it actually lends a robust taste to these truffles. ~ Alan

- 1/2 cup Milk
- 2-3 tsp Classic Assam tea
- 1 1/3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steep loose tea in milk overnight (at least 8 hours), then strain out the loose tea.

Cool in bowl in the refrigerator until firm.

Form into small balls of chocolate, then roll in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, etc. Place in covered container and chill until ready to eat.
