I’d never made truffles before but it turns out that they’re basically just balls of ganache that has been half-set and rolled up and they took all of a few minutes to make (plus setting time). You can basically make them any flavor by adding ingredients to the cream too.

1
Heat cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer then remove from heat, add tea and steep for 5 minutes.

Cover the ganache and cool in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Use a spoon and your hands to roll the ganache into spheres.
5
Place the cocoa powder in a bowl and roll each truffle in cocoa.
