What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Where do you get that tea?

I make it Whole Foods sells Navitas 100% Cacoa Powder and Nibs, I get both. It is actually cheaper at the local Whole Foods than from Amazon - the nibs are a bit more expensive, I get the 8 ounce size. I've experimented with how much to add to my hot peppermint tea, and sometimes I toss in a few Cacoa Nibs as well, they are a little chewy I mainly use the powder for tea and coffee, but I've a few recipes that I use it in as well. The 8 ounces, even though I use it daily, lasts me roughly 6-7 weeks. Perhaps a bit longer if I don't make the chocolate chili very often as I use more than the recipe calls for.

The tea is very satisfying, but if you try it don't be shy about how much you put in. I use far more in my tea than I do coffee - about twice as much. If you do decide to try the nibs, look at the label carefully as they do sell a sweetened version. To me that defeats one of the purposes for using it! I've never seen a sweetened version of the powder however, which is good. I've heard of some grinding the nibs in a hand-coffee grinder and treating it as coffee - but of course that is the nibs (they look like shavings of the bean), not the powder.
