The Esrova Court 1478 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) ✧──────────────✧⊱✧⊰✧──────────────✧ THE ROYAL RECIPE OF HANSETI-RUSKA ISSUED BY THE ON THIS 15TH DAY OF JULA AG PIOV OF 504 E.S. ✧──────────────✧⊱✧⊰✧──────────────✧ AS THE CHILL OF the night settles in and frosty winds whisper through the Haeseni landscape, there's nothing quite like a steaming cup of the cocoa made with goat milk to ward off the winter cold. Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of my own Scyfling roots, this warming elixir promises to envelop all in the comforting embrace of warmth and flavor alike! Renowned across the Kingdom, the cinnamon cocoa beverage has become a cherished tradition during the Long Winter, savored in moments of respite and revelry alike. Thus, I present to you, the Haeseni people, the very special recipe I’ve perfected over the years - formally dubbed the Queen’s Cocoa. INGREDIENTS ✽ 2 cups Scyfling goat milk ✽ 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder ✽ 2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar ✽ 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon ✽ 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract ✽ Pinch of salt ✽ Whipped cream (optional, for serving) ✽ Ground cinnamon and marshmallows for garnish INSTRUCTIONS: I. PREPARE THE COCOA BASE ✽ Mix the cocoa powder with a small amount of goat milk to create a smooth paste. ✽ Heat the goat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, stirring frequently. II. COMBINE INGREDIENTS ✽ Once the goat milk is warm, add the cocoa paste, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture continuously to ensure even blending. III. SIMMER AND STIR ✽ Simmer the cocoa mixture over low to medium heat, stirring constantly until it reaches your desired temperature. Avoid boiling to prevent the burning of the cocoa base (Burnt chocolate smells quite foul). IV. MAKE ADJUSTMENTS IF NECESSARY ✽ Taste the hot cocoa and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon level according to your liking, taking into account the unique qualities of goat milk. Goat milk has a thicker consistency, and thus it is advised to always taste your cocoa before it is served. V. SERVING ✽ Pour the hot cocoa into any mug of your choosing. Top it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for extra flavor. It is of the utmost importance that you do not forget the marshmallows.

Ea hope auwn day, ea can hand this off to mea own little auwns... 've Koenas's Cocoa.'" Though he was still quite young for a human, he already felt a sweet sense of nostalgia for his youth, and moved quickly to whip up a batch for himself. Sweet and adored, just like the Queen! It must be cherished at every opportunity! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
