1741 Hot Chocolate Mix

Dark hot chocolate mix flavoured with an 18th century Georgian spice mix

(Cinnamon, Cardamom & Long Pepper)

This is a very rich, dark hot chocolate. Chocolate in the 18th century was consumed mainly as a hot chocolate drink, and had evolved since the 17th century into something we would recognise today. This drink is based on recipes from the 1740s and still uses Long Pepper to add a hint of hot floral spice, with the warm citrus flavour of Cardamom.
