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.

Some people are simply mystified about biscotti itself as they are curious about eating them by themselves or why many biscotti flavors on the market have a hard consistency. Many brands on the market make them differently but often people find the hard texture fun for dipping in their favorite drink. These can be enjoyed in hot or cold beverages.

There are some people who still believe that chain or independent coffee houses only serve coffee based drinks. This is far from the truth as there are many alternatives that are not only tasty with biscotti but do not have caffeine. Those who want to relax often find themselves choosing these types of drinks when visiting a bookstore or coffee retailer.

Teas have been around for centuries and there are many types from which to choose. Common teas made with black tea leaves, those with fruit or herb flavors, as well those rare flavors like rooibos, green or white tea that are becoming popular. Some teas have been known to have healing properties but most are enjoyable with a dessert or light entree.

Chai tea has grown in popularity in recent years as many people have found this spicy drink to be irresistible. Though it uses different spices to create a unique flavor, some people like to add chocolate or vanilla for a more intense taste. This drink goes well with different types of biscotti as well as other desserts that have a subtle flavor.

Though some places serve hot chocolate as an alternative to coffee, there are some who serve a different version that is intended for the chocolate connoisseur. Drinking chocolate is much different as it has a richer taste and thicker consistency that instant drinks that some people grew up with and enjoyed with marshmallows. The cooking process is also different as it entails melting chocolate chunks before blending with milk until it is creamy and smooth.

Other drinks that may be enjoyed with biscotti include hot apple cider, egg nog when it is in season, or hot milk. This is also a good alternative for those who may not want to indulge in actual sweets like cakes, pies, or tarts that are often sold at these retailers. Biscotti are also not as messy as fruit or cream filled desserts.

People that are curious about the taste of biscotti should just give it a try. They will find that they are full of flavor and most are not very sweet. Once they dip in a hot drink, they should eat it immediately. While there are many flavors to choose from, many find that double chocolate biscotti is a great choice to complement most drinks.
