Today was Day #9 of Chocolate Tea and Beverage Theme Weeks.

I made some gluten-free devil's food chocolate cupcakes that were infused and moistened with today's red velvet tea. One cupcake lasted long enough to be frosted; two smaller cupcakes were eaten before the frosting could be applied.

Sno-Zen
Today was a Chocolate + Tea double header.
Sno-Zen (Mountain View, CA) is a local San Francisco Bay Area business that serves shave ice and shaved snow -- a popular frozen dessert in Taiwan.
Late this afternoon I tried the company's Thai Tea shaved snow with sliced almonds, caramel and chocolate syrups and mochi. It was an elegantly presented and delicious version of a custom-made ice cream sundae. (Thank you Sara for tasting help.)
