It seems to have something in common with coffee; it contains caffeine. On the other hand, when brewed, it resembles a tea infusion ...., so what's the point?
Cascara is the dried (with the skin) pulp of the coffee fruit, so it is coffee - no argument there. However, the coffee we know and love is mainly associated with the peeled and roasted bean. All that has been 'extracted' from the bean is the cascara.
Until recently, cascara was considered a by-product of coffee production, used at most to fertilise the soil. Recently, this has started to change - and for the better! A Cascara infusion is a mass of flavour, a delicate caffeine kick and a mega versatility - it tastes great hot or cold, on its own or as an addition to coffee, tea, shakes, drinks, cocktails and desserts. The list is endless.
To make it easier for you to enjoy the taste of Cascara on a daily basis, we decided to condense it as much as possible and that is how we came up with our new product - CASCARA CONCENTRATE. Simply add a small amount of the finished concentrate to your drink (at a ratio of 1:9) - no brewing, filtering, straining - minimal effort and you're done.
INGREDIENTS: infusion of cascara, sugar, citric acid, natural aromas.
METHOD OF PREPARATION: Mix the concentrate with water in a ratio of 1:9.
USE-BY DATES: Consume within 3 months after opening.
