Dark
$18.00 – $24.30Based on Mayan spices used to flavor the Ka’kau’ (Cacao) bean. On desserts, it is the deep forest surrounding a comforting home. It is the chill night air that we embrace after dinner with a loved one. Dark adds the thrill of unfamiliarity to our most traditional desserts. Add Dark to dishes featuring chocolate – cakes, cookies, sauces, mousse or cocoa. Or, add a rich Mesoamerican flavor to non-chocolate desserts. Sprinkle on cream; add to smoothies, shakes or coffee.
Hand-blended in small batches with Ceylon cinnamon, pure ground vanilla, sweet Chile, black pepper, star anise and mace.
Butterfly Pea Flowers
$8.00 – $10.80These dried flowers are pH indicators, steeping into a delicious blue tisane that will transform into a purple or pink color when you add some form of citric acid (traditionally, lemon juice). They can also be used to naturally color rice or noodles, and are a particularly fun botanical to use in crafting cocktails.
Cinnamon ~ Ceylon
$10.25 – $28.35Ceylon – the true Cinnamon, scientifically speaking – has a mellow, citrusy flavor & a woodsy, floral aroma; more subtle with less of a bite than Cassia. Hailed for health benefits & considered more precious than gold in ancient Egypt.
Perfect for dishes with few competing flavors, such as custards, puddings, baked fruits and whipped cream, or simply sprinkled on oatmeal, yogurt or toast. Use also in sauces and curries, and add to lamb and vegetable dishes.
Available whole in 5″ quills (6 per package) or milled.
Anise Seed
$7.25 – $19.50Repairs to the London Bridge were said to be partially paid for by taxes and tolls placed on Anise Seed by King Edward in 1305. In folklore, Anise is believed to stave off nightmares when placed near the bed.
Use in cookies, pastries and bread. Try adding to savory dishes for a layer of warm licorice flavoring.
