Jasmin tea (Nunshen) Chocolate Hazelnut Rochers for Valentines’ Day
Indulge your Valentine’s sweet tooth with these decadent, aphrodisiac and healthy homemade rochers!
These super easy to make rochers, have always been my all time favorite chocolate. I love dark chocolate and hazelnuts together. I thought some jasmin flavor would be a nice touch. So I used Nunshen 73 jasmin tea bag – black tea- ( see my previous post about Nunshen teas Orange blood and tea cake). The more you infuse your tea bag in the cream/ milk mixture stonger the jasmin flavor will be. So I let the tea bag infused for 5 hours.
You can use any kind of chocolate: milk, 72% dark or as I did : semi-sweet chocolate. If you do not like hazelnut you can use any nuts: almond, pistachio even peanuts.
These are the healthiest (yes for antioxidants and iron) and most delicious chocolate/hazelnut rochers you’ll ever eat with no preservatives or additives. They can be keptfor a few days in the fridge if you manage to restrict yourself, but I doubt!
These will pair perfectly with some real French bubbling Champagne or some Nushen Jasmin tea nunshen!
Happy Valentines Day!
