Honestly, this is all about the ingredients.
Simple and honest goodness that will make a summer afternoon sing.
We don't do things by half measures. It's going to be a big delicious iced chocolate to really get you going. If you want to reduce the size. just halve the ingredients.
The Organic Chocolate Powder
To start, you will want to scoop in two generous heaped spoons of Sweet Jasper's organic drinking chocolate. This stuff is honestly some of the best tasting drinking chocolate on the market, it's sourced from cocoa farmers in the Dominican republic. It's a recipe we have perfected over years of experimentation and fine tuning.
Mix it with a dash of 90 degrees water.
Stir until the powder becomes a liquid, just thick enough to drip off your spoon easily. You want the water hot so that it mixes all the chocolate and sugars together well.
Optional: At this stage you could add a dash of cinnamon or cardamom to give your chocolate a bit of an extra oomph. If your feeling adventurous, add a hint of watered down marmalade to make an orange iced chocolate.
Ice and good quality milk is key.
We recommend using Biodynamic Demeter milk if you can get it. Honestly taste this side by side with a regular milk from the supermarket and you will see what I'm talking about. This stuff is the best of the best, there is a natural sweetness that you just can't replicate. Knowing that the cows are looked after and cared for is all the better. No other milk comes close.
Now pour over your chocolate mixture and let it do it's thing.
If you want to be really fancy, add a scoop of ice cream before the chocolate, let it melt a bit as you pour and stir everything together.
It's so simple, but in summer you absolutely can not beat this iced chocolate.
