- 44g Cocoa Powder Terra Rossa
- 88g Cocoa Butter
- 190g Whole Milk
- 35g Brown Sugar
Cocoa powder suggestions:
- Terra Rossa : cocoa, velvety flavor
- Rich Terracotta: full chocolate flavor
- True Dark: acidic / cocoa flavor
Milk can be infused with spices and herbs for alternate flavor, such as chai spices, cinnamon, vanilla, peppermint (or regular mint)
- In a heat-proof bowl, add the cocoa butter and melt over (low heat) bain-marie until 42-45ºC.
- Once at correct temperature, add cocoa powder and blend thoroughly with a hand-blender to rid of all cocoa powder lumps. Set aside until ready to use.
- In a saucepan, add the milk and sugar. Bring to a soft boil.
- Take off heat. Add 1/3 of milk mixture to the cocoa mixture, whisking continuously (mixture will become a thick ganache like texture).
- Gradually add the rest of the milk while whisking continuously.
- Once well combined, pour into desired mug.
- To be enjoyed warm as is.
