things people ask

• How many tablespoons of carob flour go into a mug of hot carob drink?
  Two tablespoons — about 12 g — into 250 ml of hot milk gives a drink with body and a clear roasted-carob flavour. Whisk the powder with a splash of cold milk first to make a slurry; carob's sugars cause it to clump on contact with hot liquid. Sweeten lightly if at all, since carob already brings around 4 g of natural sugar per tablespoon.
• Is one tablespoon of carob flour the same weight as one tablespoon of cocoa?
  Close but not identical. Cocoa runs about 5 g per tablespoon; carob is denser at roughly 6 g because of its higher carbohydrate content and finer grind. If a recipe specifies cocoa by weight, measure carob by weight too — substituting tablespoon-for-tablespoon means you'll add about 20% more dry matter, which thickens sauces and glazes more than expected.
• Can I stir a tablespoon of carob flour straight into yogurt or oatmeal?
  Yes, but bloom it first. Mix the 6 g tablespoon with a tablespoon of warm water or milk to dissolve the clumps, then fold it through. Dropped dry into cold yogurt the powder leaves chalky pockets, and the sweetness doesn't distribute evenly. A bloomed tablespoon flavours roughly 200 g of yogurt or a single bowl of oats without needing extra sugar.
