Coffee and Chocolate

[featherynscale]

This is probably of no interest to anyone but me, but it'll be short, so you can blaze by it if you like.

Since we've changed our eating habits at the house, I've discovered that some of my tastes for food have changed. For example, chocolate, which was never that interesting to me before, has become much more compelling. The chocolate that I have begun to like is the no- or low-sugar version of the thing, and some of it is artificially sweetened, but still, chocolate. Very weird.

An extra added bonus seems to be that I can drink coffee without becoming ill, which is absolutely beautiful. Now, I just need to acquire some good coffee for the office. Anybody got a recommendation for good coffee? *Looks pointedly at lexpendragon*

Hmm.

Have you ever tried making old-school Xoclatl? The more bitter unsweetened cocoa drink?

It's a different experience altogether, and you can get your chocolate fix with a totally new perspective.

Is that a product or a method?

Method. From the Mayan Xocoatl, Olmec Choclatl, you mix cocoa powder into water, with a touch of vanilla, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon to taste. Stir to a froth.

Yep, I do. Adore it!
