Ingredients:

• 300ml thickened cream
• 3 Nerada Earl Grey tea bags
• 1 tbs unsalted butter
• Pinch of salt
• 250g good-quality dark chocolate, coarsely chopped

Method:

1. Put the cream, tea bags, butter and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags. Put the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl, pour over the hot cream mixture and stir gently until smooth and combined.
2. Stir in the vanilla, then whisk until smooth and shiny. Transfer to a shallow container, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
3. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Put the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Using 1 tbs mixture, roll into balls and then dust each truffle in the cocoa powder. Transfer the truffles to the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or up to overnight. Keep in the fridge.
