Chai Cocoa Dust

Dark cocoa, warming spice and moderate sweetness with cinnamon, ginger and fragrant cardamom.

Cocoa and warm spices can be used as a light finishing dust rather than a heavy sweet coating. Mix into a moist base if the powder feels dry on the palate. Judge sweetness separately so the cocoa's bitterness remains intentional.

Coffee, cocoa, oatmeal, toast, ice cream, baking, roasted nuts and dessert toppings.

1/2 teaspoon per cup of a creamy base.

Sprinkle over finished foods or stir into hot beverages. For baking, start with a small amount and adjust to taste so the cocoa and chai spices stay balanced.

Use this amount as a starting point for flavor, then adjust to your food and taste. If other ingredients bring salt, sweetness or heat, account for those before adding more seasoning.

Stir 1/2 teaspoon dust into 3/4 cup yogurt and rest briefly. Sweeten to taste, then add sliced banana or pear. A little toasted oat crunch gives contrast without masking the cocoa and fragrant spice notes.
