David Loftus MAKES 25 TEA MATCH Something effervescent and celebratory. Try Fortnum & Mason’s Sparkling Tea. 40g caster sugar 5 tbsp loose-leaf Darjeeling tea 250g dark chocolate (at least 66% cocoa solids), cut into 1cm squares 50g cocoa powder Place the sugar in a saucepan with 250ml water. Bring to the boil, then stir in the tea. Remove from the heat and leave to stand for 1 minute. In three stages, pour the hot tea through a sieve over the chocolate in a heatproof mixing bowl. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Use an electric beater to beat the chocolate for a minute, keeping the whisk attachments submerged under the mixture to prevent bubbles from forming. Cover and place in the fridge for an hour until cool. Remove the chocolate mixture from the fridge 10 minutes before making the truffles. Sift the cocoa powder on to a plate and over your hands, then take a teaspoon of the chocolate mixture and pinch it between your powdered palms and fingers to form a ball. Roll it over the cocoa powder on the plate, then transfer to a serving dish. Repeat with the remaining chocolate mixture and cocoa powder. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week. Now buy the book Our recipes are from Fortnum & Mason: Time for Tea by Tom Parker Bowles (Fourth Estate, £20).
