The ninth drink of my thirty day book as a bev series is a drink that’s neither hot nor cold but somewhere in between~ A pb&j inspired latte with a fresh raspberry sauce and topped with dark chocolate whipped cream. This drink was inspired by my hardcover edition of Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi.
Because the book’s setting is partially in Ghana, I was attempting to be intentional with the flavor profile and name. Some popular Ghanaian snacks include plantains or different groundnuts.
There were a lot of vibrant colors on the cover and instead of selecting two or three, I think I was a bit ambitious with the flavor profile. But the colors came out so perfectly if I do say so myself. I used saffron to get that yellow hue naturally and you could taste it a bit in the drink.
