In November 2022 we launched our new Islands Hot Chocolate Powder. We kept things simple, pairing 45% unrefined Caribbean cocoa with homegrown British sugar and a sprinkling of sea salt, letting the natural flavours of the cocoa sing through.
For an 8oz cup you will need:
- 20g hot chocolate powder
- 28ml/1 fl oz boiling water
- 120ml/6 fl oz milk (dairy or alternative)
Method: Barista, Latte Art
- Scoop the Islands Hot Chocolate Powder into a milk pitcher
- Dose with a splash of hot water and mix to create a smooth paste
- In a separate jug, steam your milk to latte milk texture
- Pour the milk over the paste, using a circular motion. Bring the milk closer to the cup to create latte art
Method: Barista, Straight Steam
- Pour the milk into a jug and scoop in the Islands Hot Chocolate Powder
- Heat with a steam wand
Method: At Home
- Place your Islands Hot Chocolate Powder and milk into a jug
- Pour in a splash of boiling water in to make a smooth paste
- Gradually pour in your cold milk, stirring constantly to make a smooth chocolate milk
- Heat the chocolate milk in a microwave or on the hob
