Lightly crush the whole spices and combine them with the water and opened tea bags in a pan.
Bring to a boil over high heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Then, add the milk and continue boiling for another 10 minutes.
Strain the tea, discarding the spices and tea leaves, and return the liquid to the hob.
Stir in the dark chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, whisking constantly until the chocolate has completely melted.
Taste the hot chocolate and adjust the sweetness to your preference, then pour it into your favorite mug and enjoy.
