How To Brew Brewing Cocoa

[@calitexi]

I just purchased some. I’m totally new to this. What do I need to purchase to brew some. I don’t drink coffee so I don’t have a coffee maker

Awesome content

[@HowToMakeChocolateAtHome]

Thanks.

is the strainer that you load the cacao grind into & suspend over the cup (reference 0:22s) a tea infuser? would one work or is there something more specialized for use with brewing cacao?

[@CraigMakesThings1214]

FOLLOW UP: it appears to be a Celestial Stainless Steal Tea Infuser from Wild Daisy Herbals. True?

[@jsaleh415]

How fine do you grind it i have cacao nibs

[@tiffanytupper8983]

I just got a brazen plus from you and I'm wondering if you could give me some advice for my cacao I got from you? I'm from here in Eugene!😊

Very cool

[@matroberts4753]

i brew my coffee in a pour over, but i've heard you shouldn't use paper filters for brewing cacao. is that true?

[@HowToMakeChocolateAtHome]

That isn't answerable. Some paper filters clog. Some don't. Try it and see. Other than clogging, there is no reason not to use one. That said, I much prefer metal tea infuser filters like we show in the video.

I’m curious, can you cold brew the cocoa beans?

[@HowToMakeChocolateAtHome]

Sure. chocolatealchemy.com/brewingcocoa#about-brewing-cocoa

[@matroxman11]

Can you mix nibs with coffee and get good extraction?

[@HowToMakeChocolateAtHome]

not really. It makes both a lesser product IMO.

[@ianhames2465]

Interesting, I have cacao nibs, could I use them? Also have you tried using the full fat powdered milk with it? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@HowToMakeChocolateAtHome]

You can but it tends to be thinner. You get body and flavor from the husk. Sure, you can us milk in it.

Can I brew the unsweetened cocoa powder like in a coffee maker? 1:30

[@MidieM-lu8rz]

Do you sell the press? And how much

[@HowToMakeChocolateAtHome]

No really. Cocoa powder is repels water quite a bit. Usually you end up just making a mess.

[@eostre812]

how do you make sure that the beans roasted was the one that has good bean quality?

[@HowToMakeChocolateAtHome]

I don't really understand your question. I think the answer is taste but not really sure that is what you are asking.

[@pip124t]

What is the rotating temperature and time for the brewing cocoa ?

[@HowToMakeChocolateAtHome]

I like 200-206 F for 4-6 minutes.
