Must be precise with this batch. After all, he wants everything to be perfect when he gives it to her. Carefully mix the leaves together, add a bit of mint here and there...Perhaps melting down a bit of chocolate into it?
Yes, that makes it look beautiful...Sugar is not her most favorite thing, however, he is sure that this time she can make a large exception, considering the work he put into this delicate piece.
Adding in a short blast of chickory root, he smirks to himself, deciding that this is the perfect drink. Taking a spoon and stirring the contents together in water, the scent is almost amazing.
A blend of bitter chickory root, sweet chocolate, fresh mint and spiced cinnamon. After a moment of taking in the scent, he carefully places the cup on a small plate and heads for the door.
Walking out to the Deck, he kneels down to the table on his leg, setting the cup of piping hot tea down, steam fluttering from the top as the slight ocean breeze coils it in circles.
He watches as his beloved takes a drink. Ah, that puzzled look on her face...
"...It is a quite an interesting drink, Cook-san."
"I am glad you enjoy it, Robin-chwan It is a new recipe I dedicated just for you"
She smirks slightly, taking another sip. "Ah...So what is the main ingrediant?"
And with that, the cook smirked back.
"Love."
