Enjoying Double Chocolate Biscotti With A Drink

By Marissa Velazquez


When it comes to having a hot or cold beverage at a coffeehouse or bookstore, some find that their visit is not complete if there is no edible to go with it. Some people like to have something that is hearty or savory but the majority likes to have a slightly sweet treat. Often a pastry or baked good like double chocolate biscotti is the perfect complement to most any drink or beverage.

For some, there is a mystery about biscotti such as how is it eaten or why must it remain hard. Many types of biscotti have a different consistency but have the same great taste. The main reason that some are hard is so that they can be dipped in a hot beverage. However, some people find that it also tastes great with iced coffee or a cold glass of chocolate milk.

The myth that bookstores and coffee shops only sell coffee and dessert is far from true. Anyone who wants to enjoy a hot or cold beverage without caffeine has a multitude of choices that fit any type of weather. These are also great for anyone who wants to relax instead of being wound up from coffee.

One thing that coffee shops sell is different varieties of tea. Tea selection ranges from green to herbal to white, there are many types from which to choose and some that have no caffeine at all. Whether it is enjoyed hot or cold, tea can also provide drinkers with many health benefits, such as antioxidants.

One particular tea has grown in popularity as its strong flavor complements many entrees and desserts. This is made from black tea leaves and is brewed with various spices. Though many may use cinnamon, clove, and honey, others may add chocolate or almond flavors to create a different type of drinking experience.

Many of these retailers serve hot chocolate but it is not to be confused with the same instant drink that many people had when they were growing up. Drinking chocolate is an entirely different experience as it has a thicker consistency and is richer than hot chocolate. The process of making it is also different as cocoa chunks are melted before being mixed with milk.

Visitors may try other drinks with their biscotti like hot apple cider or seasonal drinks like eggnog. Biscotti is great for those who may have a sweet craving but are not inclined to have a pastry or something else that is higher in calories and fat. Another fact is that biscotti does not make as much mess as desserts that have cream, fruit, or are covered in frosting.

The next time a person visits their favorite coffeehouse or bookstore, they should try having a biscotti with a hot or cold beverage. They will find that the sweet taste is subtle and find the crunchy consistency a contrast to the dipped portion that has flavors of the beverage inside. Although many people love to eat double chocolate biscotti, there are many flavors that can be found in stores as well as online.
