Cocoa from carob

Do you like cocoa, but are you thinking about health? Try carob! It's more useful! Not so long ago I got acquainted with such a product as carob. I cook a lot of dishes from it, and using it in recipes instead of cocoa, I can also not put sugar. I want to tell you about a drink from carob, which is somewhat similar to cocoa, but more flavorful and much healthier!

Carob is a powder made from dried carob fruits. His homeland is the Mediterranean countries, and the taste is coffee-sweet. Carob is rich in vitamins and trace elements, does not cause allergies and does not contain substances that affect the psyche and cause addiction (which are available in coffee, cocoa, chocolate).

1. To make cocoa from carob, pour the necessary amount of milk into a saucepan and put it on fire.
2. Sift the carob powder into a deep bowl, add a little warm water to it and knead well.
3. We introduce an aqueous solution of carob into the milk and, gradually stirring with a whisk, bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Turn off the fire under the pan, add sugar if desired and, after stirring, turn on the fire again. Cook the drink on low heat for another 3-4 minutes.
5. Ready-made cocoa from carob is poured into cups and served hot with your favorite pastries or other goodies.

Bon appetit!
