The scent of the dry mix is as advertised; cocoa, caramel, salt. After a long steep (6 min), there’s a lot less caramel and a lot more licorice…and low sodium.
Drinking this first non-stellar cup minus any additives to get an accurate baseline, but I think this will need some sugar and/or some dairy to accentuate any creamy caramel personality this may have.
So it taste like kind of salty licorice? :|
Yeah, kind of. Next round, I will dial back the steep time to see if it backs off. No licorice love here.
Boo licorice
