Recipe
Instructions:
Fill a saucepan halfway with water and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Place a small metal bowl on top of the saucepan to create a double boiler. Add the chocolate to the bowl and melt over moderate heat.
Pour the coconut milk into a second medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the tea and cinnamon, cover and remove from heat for 5 minutes.
Using a fine-mesh strainer and cheesecloth, strain the coconut milk mixture directly into the chocolate. DIscard the tea leaves.
Whisk the chocolate mixture until the chocolate is uniformly melted and the coconut milk has been incorporated. Refrigerate the chocolate until firm, about 2 hours.
Sift cocoa in a bowl. Using a measuring spoon, scoop up 1 tsp of chocolate and quickly roll into a ball about 3/4-inch across. Drop into cocoa; roll each truffle in cocoa to coat.
Serve chilled. (Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
