Could this post be any more millennial? This Ruby Chocolate Latte made with ruby pink chocolate ticks every millennials' box. It contains coffee AND it's pink! Similar to a white hot chocolate or white chocolate latte, this drink is smooth and sweet but with subtle berry notes.
WHAT IS RUBY CHOCOLATE?
Now, have you heard of Ruby Chocolate? Hailed as the biggest innovation in chocolate history in 80 years and after 13 years of research, the Ruby Chocolate was released by Callebaut. Made from special ruby cocoa beans from Ecuador, Brazil and the Ivory Coast, the chocolate has a naturally distinctive lipstick pink colour. Just like you can taste the difference between white, milk and dark chocolate, you can really taste the difference with Ruby chocolate - it has a fruity berry flavour.
Since I'd heard of its release, I had always wanted to try it. It isn't the easiest (nor the cheapest!) chocolate to get your hands on but there are some shops that stock it.
INGREDIENTS TO MAKE A RUBY CHOCOLATE LATTE DRINK
A slab of ruby chocolate or ruby chocolate flakes
Whole milk,
Ground coffee
Variation: you can also make Ruby hot chocolate by omitting the coffee
HOW TO MAKE RUBY CHOCOLATE LATTE
This recipe will achieve a stunning rose-coloured latte.
Gently heat the milk in a saucepan, slowly add the ruby chocolate and stir. Prepare the coffee. Mix the two together and either serve hot or wait to cool and serve over ice.
I had never really considered the temperature of the water when preparing hot drinks. But because I wanted to get the best flavour of the ruby chocolate and coffee together, I considered varying the temperature of the water when adding to the ground coffee in the cafetiere.
