Description
Goodnow Farms makes their delicious hot cocoa from the same premium single origin beans they use to make their chocolate! The house blend is our own mix of fresh pressed cacao powder from our single origin beans, including Nicaragua, Guatemala and Mexico.
Most hot cocoa is alkalized, which means it’s washed with a solution of potassium carbonate. This process allows the cocoa powder to dissolve in milk or water more easily, but significantly alters the flavor. Alkalizing also removes a significant amount of the natural flavanols, which are compounds that play a significant role in the beneficial effects of eating cacao. This cocoa is NOT alkalized. You may need to stir it more vigorously but you’ll taste the unique flavor of the beans, and get the full benefit of cacao’s flavanols.
Directions: add three tablespoons of cocoa to one cup of hot milk or milk alternative and whisk vigorously.
