This tea inspires comparisons to ice cream flavors and candies, but is made with just a few natural, healthy ingredients. “Its chocolatey aroma comes from cacao nibs (the dried and fermented bits of cacao beans) which, <a href=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4145303/ target=_blank>research shows</a>, are a good source of iron, potassium, and magnesium, and don’t melt in hot water,” says New York City–based recipe developer Sarah Jampel. Vanilla bean and mint offer fragrant sweetness and aromatics. Be sure to save the vanilla bean seeds for another recipe—<a href=https://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-difference-vanilla-extract-vanilla-bean-vanilla-paste-169336 target=_blank>one bean’s worth is equivalent to 3 teaspoons vanilla extract</a>—so swap them in for an even more powerful flavor.
