I remember that TheTeaFairy suggested that I try a nice long steep with this fellow, so even though I would usually never dream of doing such a thing, I trust her judgement and went balls to the wall with an 8 minute steep.
Timer beeps, and I remove my “lid”. Holy moly, it’s as dark as my tar black soul. I of course had to sweeten it (sorry not sorry, I’m a sweets girl and how can I note sweeten my chocolatey love?). I maybe should have rinsed this, I didn’t last time, but this time I’m getting a bit of pond water. But even still, this is yum. Deep dark cocoa, a touch of earthy pu, and even some burnt sugar. As it cools, the burnt sugar comes out more and melds with a sort of caramel note. Yummy. I don’t know what method I like more.
