Good Homemade Chocolate Frosting Recipes

Good Homemade Chocolate Frosting Recipes

Everyone has their own variant of homemade chocolate icing/frosting. A Little more butter, little less, powdered sugar, egg whites, chocolate chocolate and more chocolate! If I’ve tried ten I’ve tried hundreds and while they all share commonalities they are all unique.

Delicious Chocolate Icing

The truth is an icing should be creamy and spreadable, it should hold it shape and while it doesn’t need to stand up to much heat you don’t want your icing sliding off your cake, or worse have the layers of your cake slide off. Have you ever seen that? It’s something you’ll never repeat (unless you like an edible mess)!

If on the other hand your chocolate frosting is too thick it will make it hard to spread and can end up tearing your cake as you apply it and that’s not fun at all. A stiff icing has its uses though for items like brownies or cookies.

If you are faced with a little too thick of icing add a splash of milk to it and it should loosen it enough for application. While it’s definitely not the best place to repair such an idea go slow when adding extra ingredients at the end.

Chocolate Frosting for Brownies

The lack of any extra liquid in this recipe makes it quick and easy but thick and stiff enough to be used as a topping for brownies or cookies as well as cakes. Using melted chocolate also gives this icing a rich flavor and a deep dark color.

• 6 Tbls. Soft Butter
• 1 & 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate

1. Beat butter till light and fluffy
2. Blend in the powdered sugar
3. Add cooled melted chocolate, beating till well blended

Traditional Chocolate Icing

This is a very traditional chocolate icing recipe. By traditional I mean very old. It’s important to give the first step plenty of time.

The complete blending of the butter and cocoa is vital to the quality of the final product. The fact that it uses all butter does create minor holding problems when the icing is on the cake. It must be refrigerated till used, and served as soon as possible after being cut.

Working with an all butter icing also means that while frosting the cake it may be necessary to return the cake and the icing to the refrigerator frequently throughout the process.

The end result will be a light soft, versatile icing with a delicate chocolate flavor that will enhance any cake.

• 10 oz. Soft Butter
• 1 1/4 lb. Powdered Sugar
• 8-10 Tbls Cocoa
• 1 Cup Milk
• 1 Tbls. Vanilla

1. Beat butter and cocoa till fluffy
2. Gradually add half of the sugar, beating till smooth
3. Add remaining sugar alternately with milk beating well after each addition
4. Stir in vanilla, mixing to spreading consistency

Make Homemade chocolate yourself

Make Homemade chocolate yourself

Homemade chocolate, an easy to make chocolate recipe for kids made with cocoa powder, milk powder and butter

Homemade chocolate recipe that is unbelievably easy to make with just 4 ingredients. Have you tried making chocolate at home? Yes, I’m talking about homemade chocolate made from scratch in the comfort of your own home! Making chocolate at home is not a tedious process as many assume. There are many methods to make this chocolate recipe but the one which works great for me is the sugar syrup method. The secret to making that perfect homemade chocolate that will give any store bought chocolate a run for its money is in preparing the sugar syrup to one string consistency. It is very very crucial to the making of a successful batch of homemade chocolate. You must achieve one thread consistency of sugar syrup which can be tested by touching the syrup between your forefinger and thumb. A thin string should be formed and should not break. If the string breaks, allow the sugar syrup to simmer for some more time.

Milk powder and cocoa powder are the important ingredients that go into the making of homemade chocolate recipe. I must mention that using good quality butter and cocoa powder is imperative. A chef once told me that margarine works best but I have not used it for health reasons. You can add different flavors like chocolate essence, vanilla essence, cinnamon or espresso. I have not added any nuts or any other flavors. Nuts like crushed pistachios, pecans or almonds make for a good choice. Alternately, you can roll the finished homemade chocolate in desiccated coconut or colored sprinkles.

Homemade chocolate pictures that you see in this post are the ones I gift wrapped for my son’s friend for his birthday. During festivals like Diwali and Christmas, homemade chocolates make for excellent edible gifts. Wrap the chocolates in pretty colored papers and gift them to family, friends or your Valentine. You will surely be getting positive reviews and requests for more homemade chocolate. It’s great that you can make them ahead of time since they keep well at room temperature. It makes for a perfect sweet treat to indulge in any time of the day!

Next time you crave chocolate, stop rushing to your nearby store to pick up your favorite bar and instead make your own homemade chocolate.

How to Make Green Tea Taste Better

How to Make Green Tea Taste Better.....?

If you've looked into drinking green tea, you've probably come across a few people who think it's bitter. Green tea is one of the least processed teas, meaning it retains a lot of its earthy and natural flavors and compounds. These natural ingredients can be sensitive to temperature and other factors. When brewed improperly, it can mean a bitter or sour flavor that is off-putting.

All is takes is a little practice and a few adjustments for people to enjoy green tea. The flavors of this beverage can range from earthy and rich to airy and grassy. By following a few rules and tips, you can brew the perfect cup of green tea without any astringent flavors. Here are a few basic techniques you can use to make green tea taste better.

Want to grab the best tasting green teas today? Check out our collection of the tastiest green tea right here.

Buy Better Quality Green Teas

A lot of new tea drinkers start off by buying green tea bags. We get it. Tea bags are easy to use and they're convenient on the go. They offer quick brewing times and easy cleanup. However, what they don't offer is true flavor. The problem with tea bags is that they don't contain high quality tea leaves. Green tea bags contain dust and broken tea leaves that don't offer all the healthy components or the flavor of a high quality tea. Tea bags are also too small to allow the leaves to fully expand and infuse flavor. This results in teas that are bitter or lack the full flavor profile.

You wouldn�t use low quality meat for a barbecue, so why use low quality tea bags for brewing tea? Instead, opt for teas made up of loose leaves from a reputable seller. Loose leaf teas contain all the healthy and flavorful compounds of the leaves for better taste.

The truth is that green tea flavor starts with the quality of tea leaves. Tea can taste different depending on where the tea was grown, nutrition content of the soil, climate, and so on. This concept is known in the tea and wine industries as terroir—basically the environment something is grown in affects that way it tastes.

Steep Briefly

This is the part where most people get themselves into trouble. You brew a cup of hot water, toss in a tea bag and get distracted by your morning routine. The next thing you know, you're tea has been steeping for 5 or 10 minutes. The result is a bitter brew that is not pleasant to drink.

Just like cooking, brewing green tea means that you have to pay attention. Green tea leaves are delicate and can burn just like foods do. Green tea should not be steeped for more than 2 minutes. Start by brewing a new green tea blend for 1 minute. Taste after every 30 seconds to find a flavor that works for you. Tea becomes increasingly bitter the longer it is steeped. If you prefer light flavor, steep the tea for shorter amounts of time.

Be Mindful Of Water Temperature

When you cook a meal, you usually set the stovetop or oven to a certain temperature. Tea brewing is exactly the same. Green tea should generally be brewed at temperatures between 150F and 180F. Japanese green teas should be brewed at lower temperatures—typically 150 to 170 F. Chinese green teas are hardier and should be brewed between 170 and 180 F.

The best way to control water temperature is to use a tea kettle with built-in temperature controls. If you don't have one, simply boil water in a pot on the stove. Remove the boiling water from heat and let it sit for 1 or 2 minutes.

Alternatively, 150 F is reached when small bubbles start forming on the bottom of the pot. 170 F is when midsize bubbles start rising to the surface. These guidelines are for sea level and can change at different altitudes. You can always toss in a regular baking thermometer to check temperature if you're heating the water on the stove top.

Flavoring Add-Ins

For some people, the earthy or grassy flavor of green tea alone isn't a treat. Luckily, you can add in a few subtle flavorings to make this tea taste better. You can add a dash of fresh lemon juice or lemon slices to counteract any bitter flavors if you've steeped the tea for too long. Alternatively, adding a bit of honey, raw sugar, or a stevia leaf can help add a little sweetness to this earthy tea.

You can spice up the flavor of green tea with herbs and spices as well. Green tea blends well with fresh ginger and results in tea with a spicy note. For refreshing flavors, add in a few fresh mint leaves instead. Other popular additives include cinnamon sticks and nutmeg.

Make An Herbal Infusion

You can make your own blends at home by adding a few fresh or dried flower blossoms to your green tea leaves. You can also find many flavored green teas at your grocery store or favorite tea shop.

Other popular alternatives include green teas that are infused with fruit. These fruit teas tend to have a sweeter, more vibrant flavor than standard green teas. Fruit infused green teas can be brewed as iced tea or hot tea. Iced green tea generally tastes a bit milder than hot green teas and can be a great starting point if you're getting used to the flavors of green tea.

The Nilgiris Black Tea With Balanced Flavor

The Nilgiris Black Tea With Balanced Flavor

What Is Nilgiri Tea?

Nilgiri tea is an Indian black tea that is similar to Assam tea and Darjeeling tea. The tea has bold fruity and floral flavors  — with hints of dusk orchid and woody plums — that are balanced in a mild body. This black tea does not have strong notes of astringency and it brews into a bright amber hue. The tea has an aftertaste that is nutty and spicy.

Nilgiri Tea History

Nilgiri tea is cultivated in the Nilgiri district of India, which can be found in the state of Tamil Nadu. Also known as the blue mountains, the Nilgiri Mountains belong to the Western Ghats mountain range which spans more than 140,000 square kilometers crossing Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, and Gujarat in south India. The mountain range parallels the western coast of southern India. The Nilgiri Mountains feature more than 24 peaks towering 2,000 meters above sea level.

The rich natural area is home to dozens of unique flora and fauna, which has made the Nilgiri District a popular travel destination. The climate and soil composition also make it one of the best tea growing regions on the planet. While lesser known than other Indian tea producing regions such as Darjeeling and Assam, the Nilgiri tea region still produces some of the highest quality black teas.

Tea production began in the Nilgiri region during the rule of the British East India Company around 1835. Classic British tea estates and tea plantations popped up around the district from Ketti to Dunsandle and Thiashola. The highest Nilgiri tea plantations are located in Korakundah. The aromatic fragrance and strong fruity flavors were an instant hit with Westerners. 

Today, small local growers — mainly a local community of agriculturists known as Badagas — produce the vast majority of Nilgiri tea. Larger tea plantations that are part of the Nilgiri Planters' Association, which is headquartered in Coonoor, produce about 30 percent of this type of tea. In addition, the region produces a wide range of white tea, green tea, and oolong tea.

Nilgiri Tea Production

Nilgiri tea is made from the leaves of the true tea plant known as Camellia sinensis. This Indian black tea is typically harvested between January and March. Teas harvested early in the season are known as Frost Tea and feature a rosy, sweet flavor. These teas are typically harvested early in the morning after a light frost and come from tea plantations higher in the mountains.

Once the leaves are plucked, they undergo an oxidation process using the Orthodox Method where enzymes in the leaves are exposed to oxygen. This process is usually undertaken by hand to preserve the entire tea leaf. This causes the leaves to turn a dark brown or black hue and produces an intense, flavorful aroma. 

Once dry, the tea leaves are gently rolled and shaped for sale as loose leaf teas. These types of Nilgiri tea are known as orange pekoe — a medium grade tea, or pekoe black — a premium grade fine tea made with only the youngest buds and tea leaves.

There are also lower quality Nilgiri teas that typically end up in the form of tea bags. These teas are generally produced using the CTC (crush, tear, and curl) Method. This method involves the use of machinery to bruise and break the leaves into smaller fragments. 

How to Brew Nilgiri Black Tea

Nilgiri tea is easy to brew using just a few simple tools. It can be brewed as hot tea or iced tea. It's also popularly used in chai recipes thanks to its balanced flavor profile. 

1. Heat water between 203 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit in an electric teapot or in a pan on the stove.
2. Add one teaspoon of Nilgiri organic black tea leaves for every eight ounces of water to a tea strainer.
3. Pour the hot water in your teacup and place the tea strainer inside. 
4. Steep the tea for 3 to 5 minutes. The longer the steeping time, the stronger the flavor will be.
5. Remove the tea infuser and enjoy your cup of tea. Sweeten as desired with sugar or honey.

Nilgiri Tea: The Perfect Balance of Fruity, Floral, and Bold Flavors

If you love black tea, you have to try Nilgiri tea. Its vibrant aroma and uniquely balanced flavor profile make it one of the best tea tasting experiences in the black tea world. It boasts extensive health benefits and a powerful flavor that will make this Indian tea a staple in your cabinets.
