Feliz Latinè Heritage Month! It’s celebrated September 15th through October 15th. I am a proud Latinè, my father is from Chile. I am excited to share my heritage through a paid partnership with Pinterest this month. One of the deepest ways I’ve connected with my Latinè heritage is by drinking ceremonial cacao daily. It’s a plant medicine that has been drunk for thousands of years by the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Incas, and other cultures. It’s known as a heart opener and it’s cracked mine wide open to opportunities and the potential of my life.

Inspired by Serious Eats, this frosting is genius! It uses a food processor, which makes a dense whipped cream to frost your favorite desserts with. The dried strawberries create a stable, thick, and flavorful cream. The hibiscus tea syrup (check out my last recipe) creates a pop of flavor. Don’t forget to add the smallest pinch of salt. Note: If you have a scale, that’s the best way to weigh the strawberries. I used Trader Joe’s freeze dried strawberries (it’s almost 1 cup).

Hibiscus (flor de Jamaica) is a delicious herbal tea made from the calyx of the hibiscus flower. It has a tart, floral, and fruity flavor similar to cranberries or pomegranate. This is the perfect for brunch or late afternoon drink. Note: Add more honey or agave, if you like your tea sweeter. Garnish with fresh mint and strawberries. Save this to try later!

Make a delicious fluffy cake in under 60 seconds! Pop this cake batter in your favorite (microwave-safe) coffee mug. Want to make this extra special? Top with my vegan date dulce de leche and fresh fruit. Note: Using a wider mug will leave room for the cake to expand plus give you room to add your toppings. You can always use a paper towel under the mug to catch overflow if you’re not sure. The mug I used was 18 ounces, it from the sold out Target Latinx collection.

Cola de Mono is a Chilean winter coffee holiday drink. This version is made with milk, coffee, and simple syrup that has been infused with Tadin’s Canelita Tea, a cinnamon stick, orange peel, and star anise. The syrup is delicious when poured over fresh fruit or pancakes or mixed with seltzer or a cocktail. It’s also a beautiful holiday hostess gift. Feel free to skip the pisco in this drink if you’re avoiding alcohol. This recipe is perfect to double, triple, or quadruple and serve chilled in a pitcher for parties. It’s the perfect drink for brunch.

I am a tea lover, and working as a recipe developer and food stylist for Tadin Tea & Herb Co. is a dream! Inside Refill Your Taza you'll find drinks, smoothies and sweet treats to enjoy. You can also listen to this podcast to learn more about my journey with Tadin.
