Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 4 tbsp grated Koko Samoa
  • 4 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  • Bring the water to the boil. While you are waiting, grate up the Koko. You can either use a cheese grater or with a knife or chop it into larger pieces so that you don’t cut up the pegu (cocoa nibs) inside.  As its simmering you will see a nice sheen over the top which is the cocoa butter. Let this simmer for 10-15 minutes and then add in the sugar (more or less depending on how sweet you’d like it.  When you serve, you need to swirl the pot to make sure the prices of pegu are evenly distributed so every mug gets some.Serve hot with friends and family.
