Instructions
Boiling The Water
Start by gently boiling 2 cups of water in a saucepan. It’s essential to use fresh, cold water for the best results.
Adding The Cocoa
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add 2 tablespoons of Grenadian cocoa powder to the saucepan. Whisk the cocoa powder vigorously to ensure it dissolves completely.
Infusing With Spices
Now, it’s time to infuse the cocoa tea with delightful spices. To the saucepan, add a cinnamon stick, two cloves, a bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. For roughly 10 minutes, let the stew simmer over low heat to let the flavors blend.
Sweetening And Enhancements
Next, pour in 1 cup of milk and stir gently to incorporate it into the cocoa mixture. At this point, you can add your preferred sweetener according to your taste. Stir well until the sweetener dissolves completely.
If you desire more flavor, you might also think about adding a dash of vanilla essence or a pinch of ground allspice. These enhancements can elevate the taste profile of your Grenadian cocoa tea.
