Aztec Cocoa
Ingredients
Method- 150ml Water
- 15g (1 tbsp) Honey
- 15g (2 tbsp) Cocoa Powder - True Dark
- 2ml Vanilla Essence (or 1/2 a vanilla bean)
- 1g Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Whole Corn on the Cob (with husk)
- Pinch Cinnamon
- Roast a whole corn on the cob with the husk until well colored and cooked. Let cool. (Note: For a stronger flavour try roasting on a barbeque grill).
- Carefully removed the husk and slice the corn off the cob.
- Chop one piece of the husk into smaller pieces and set aside.
- In a saucepan add water, 20g of corn and a bit of the husk. Bring to a simmer and let infuse for 10 minutes.
- Strain mixture into another saucepan and add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 1 min.
- Take off heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.
For a richer Aztec cocoa replace the water with whole milk.
