Carob Coconut Close

Carob and coconut milk make a rich, roasted evening cup with a softer flavor than dark cocoa. Coconut gives it a full texture, while carob adds mellow sweetness and depth. Mix the powder with a little milk first so it doesn’t form dry lumps. Heat gently and stir before sipping. A smaller mug can suit the richness; this is more substantial than a tea and doesn’t need extra ingredients to feel like a treat.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 tsp Carob powder

Make it

1. Warm the milk gently in a small saucepan; do not boil.
2. Add the spices, flavoring, and any fruit. Whisk powders well. If using tea, steep for the packet’s recommended time and remove the bag.
3. Simmer gently for 2 minutes. Strain whole spices or fruit if you like, then pour into a mug.
