Hot Chocolate Bitters
Kelli Armes, Herbalist
Who doesn’t love chocolate?
I mean am I right? If you don’t
like chocolate, just quit reading now and I will send a therapist over as soon
as possible. :D This is the time of year
that many of us that already have cold constitutions dread, the cold! Yes I said it! I can’t take the heat or in this case the
cold! So I got IN my kitchen to whip up
some ‘hot chocolate’ bitters.
I have shared with you another bitters recipe earlier, but I
thought you all would like this one so I wanted to share this one too. Simple to do!
:D
Here’s what you need.
Raw or roasted cacao nibs (or hey both if you want)
1 cinnamon stick
a little cayenne pepper
a pint jar
Add your cacao to fill up the jar about 1/8-1/4 of the way
full with cacao nibs
Add your cinnamon stick
And a small pinch of cayenne pepper.
Fill with the alcohol of your choice. I used brandy and it does need to sit a
little while but it worked great.
Label your jar. When you love the taste strain it and enjoy
a few drops before meals or whenever you like.
