Cocoa Nibs was/ Re: Hot drinks?

January 9, 2012

I often grind up my whole batch of nibs into a fine powder in my dry container,

and store the powder in a mason jar for quick use, but if you are just going to

make a mug of chocolate, you can grind it all together-liquid and all, in one

go.

the other day and really had no idea what to do with them. This is a good idea.

Did you just grind them up in the wet container and then continue on. Or should

I use my dry container? I am going to try this. Thanks.

chocolate in my Vitamix. I grind up some cocoa nibs (health food store) add a

squirt of agave or honey (or stevia, sugar-whatever your sweetener of choice is)

and some rice milk (you can use any milk you wish) I buzz it up until it is

thick and creamy-delish! You could make this with a few cashews thrown in for

extra creaminess) You can also add a splash of coffee or espresso, a few berries

(raspberry/chocolate, etc) My daughter loves just plain berries buzzed up into a

hot drink-it reminds her of herb tea. You can make a hot apple cider by buzzing

up an apple or two, splash of water, dash of ground cloves or cinnamon. I like

hot pear juice-just buzz up a pear with a bit of water. I was born and raised in

England, where hot tea is a staple, but when I developed an allergy to tea, I

resorted to other forms of comforting hot drinks. Pretty much, anything goes!

Enjoy!!
