Island cocoa heritage
A taste of Grenada in every cup.
Grenada has a long cocoa-growing and chocolate-making tradition. Cocoa balls are a familiar Caribbean way to keep pure cocoa ready for the kitchen: grate or shave the cocoa, simmer it with warm spices, and turn it into a rich drink with unmistakable island character.
This is not a sweetened candy bar. The flavor is naturally intense and cocoa-forward, giving you control over the milk, spices, and sweetness you add.
SpiceCaribbean tip: Pair cocoa with Grenadian nutmeg, cinnamon, and bay leaf to build your own house-style cocoa tea.
Traditional-style preparation
Make a comforting cup of cocoa tea.
There is no single family recipe. Use this simple three-step method as a starting point, then adjust the spices, milk, and sweetness to your taste.
1
Grate the cocoa (optional, recommended)
Grate or finely shave some cocoa ball into a saucepan so it melts and disperses more easily. Some people just drop the ball into the water, but that takes a bit longer, at leact cut it into pieces.
2
Simmer with spices
Add water and warm spices such as cinnamon, bay leaf, nutmeg. Simmer until fragrant and well combined. Get these ingredients from Grenadamarket.com.
3
Finish your cup
Add milk or a plant-based alternative, sweeten to taste, warm through, and strain if you prefer a smoother drink. Did you know that Grenada elders sometimes add a touch of flour to thicken their cocoa tea? hmmm….
Beyond the cup
Pure cocoa, plenty of possibilities.
Use the bold cocoa flavor anywhere you would reach for unsweetened cocoa, then adjust the recipe to account for the cocoa’s solid form.
