City Steading Brews | Aztec Hot Chocolate Mead - Spicy, Chocolatey MEAD @CitySteadingBrews | Uploaded 3 weeks ago | Updated 12 hours ago
The Aztecs made hot chocolate a little different than we do today. They added spices and chiles. So... inspired by that, we made a mead sort of in that style. It's got Chocolate, Cinnamon, Honey, and CHILES. YUM!

1/4 Cup Crio Bru Ecuador French Roast: amzn.to/3XSkSNQ
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract: amzn.to/3XCgL7m
Back Sweeten with Honey (we went to a gravity reading of 1.062)
