How To Make Cocoa Tea aka 'Hot Chocolate'

Показать описание
For many of us, "Cocoa Tea" is something we saw our grandmothers make but never attempted ourselves. Chrisal reminisces on having this every Christmas with her family and is in the kitchen today to show you just how easy it is to make. She also includes her variation to this classic hot beverage that makes it the perfect thing to drink on a cold rainy day.

We call it "Cocoa Tea" but it's not to be confused with the packaged "hot chocolate with marshmallows" you get in the grocery store. This has a DEEP and rich chocolatey flavour together with a blend of spices that warms you up inside.

Cocoa has been a major contributor to Trinidad & Tobago's economy for over 200 years and the first variety of cacao was planted by the Spaniards somewhere in 1525 and was known then as Criollo.

This Caribbean Chocolate tea is apparent in almost every Caribbean island, each having their own spin to it. The spice blend used is entirely your choice but there are a few that MUST be included and that's cinnamon, nutmeg and bay leaf.

Try out this recipe and in case you're feeling a frisky, add a lil rum for some added warmth.

Wow! This bring back so much good memories of my childhood. I grow up with my grandmother and every morning we had cocoa tea. Comforting drink with the grease from the beans floating. We had to dry the beans, roast and ground it to get that oily looking cocoa ball. Really delicious drink. Thank you.

Hi Crisal your hot cocoa/chocolate tea looks sooo good. The temp is about 30 degrees i could use this with Badawi's addition. Thanks guys, be safe.

St Lucians add some custard powder slurry to thicken it. They also use Condensed milk rather than sugar.

Interesting. I have some and will make this one of these days. Never knew star anise could be used. It looks delicious. The addition of the nutmeg should put a little happy in your day.
