A Decaf hack!

I've switched to decaf for blood pressure and health reasons, but it always lacked the sour and bitter notes I like in coffee.

Today I brewed my decaf with a little bit of brewed cacao. I find brewed cacao on its own to be too bitter and too one-note, but mixed in with the decaf, it brings in just the right complexity and makes a genuinely good cup!

It's not pure coffee and it's slightly higher caffeine than decaf, but it's far less than coffee would be, and I really like it!

I am using Crio Bru for the cacao but there might be other brands as well.

Received Crio Bru for Christmas.

Still figuring out how to brew it, but I think it'll be tasty once I get it dialed in.

Chocolatey, but drinks more like coffee than hot chocolate, but without any added sugar.

So far, 1:12 was a better ratio than 1:16, probably need to try to 1:8 which seems like a lot but will likely make the best flavor.

Our #CrioBru showed up a day early. @pamela and I are each on our second cup. Mmmmm
