oh, dregs to remind you you’re drinking the real thing. I actually took a picture of the dregs in my cup when I was done, but since I’d already shut the door (and the light) and was already in that lethargic post-cocoa tea weekend feel, it wasn’t that great and I deemed it unfit for public consumption.
thanks for the nice words

The one thing I like about homemade coco is tasting a touch of the dregs in the coco. You write well because I can almost taste a cup of hot coco after reading your post

This is the only way and the best way to have hot chocolate, I believe.

Ah, yes, coconut bake and cheese. Or fry bake too!
Sada roti and cheese. All wonderful accompaniments to cocoa tea.
BTW, I love the name of your blog It has such a ring to it.

Thanks for the great post (and pics!). I could practically smell the hot chocolate…It is amazing how memories of food and drink are so tied to thoughts of family, friends, life events. Making hot chocolate was a childhood ritual that only my dad and I shared and to this day we still continue that tradition.

As an aside, my favourite “food” pairing for hot chocolate is coconut bread, straight from the oven.

Hi ewe and welcome Mike and Strider
Thanks to all for the input. Frankly, I wasn’t sure I would get comments, and I am sorry for being so lacking in faith Asking for help brought me 2 new commenters too!
I will reshoot this, although Strider, I am not sure if I can lay my hands on your suggested props by Sunday, when I leave Trinidad again. Enamel mug might have to evoke the feeling…

The angle of the penultimate shot is good - but I think a reshoot is needed to incorporate 2 things: (1) Steam rising from the wickedly-hot chorck-late, and (2) some other prop - like a twig of cocoa or a ripe, purple, shiney cacao pod! Maybe even partially cut open to show the white-coated “beans” it contains.

Great trini blogsite: I’ll be back as often as I remember.

Just the thing to cuddle up to someone and share, last thing at night.
