it’s here!

since making my first batch of bean to cup chocolate I’ve been crafting outside the map lines: inspired by memories, the twang of a favorite song, the scent of snow sifting through fir trees, the way a river wraps itself around an oar.

Our May subscription with drinking chocolate featured this horchata-style drinking chocolate, crafted with single origin cacao from our friend Alex at Revival Cacao in Mexico. Horchata is a traditional beverage typically made with rice to lightly thicken and spices to warm & sweeten it. I used mochiko rice flour to craft a dark plant-based “milk” chocolate with cane sugar and panela, and added habanjero, smoked paprika, honey, and a titch of salt to spice it up without making it too hot.

Drink warm or cold: use 2 tablespoons per each 3 oz of liquid.

8oz pouch is re-sealable.
