things people ask

• How much carob flour should I add to a cup of coffee or latte?
  Half to one teaspoon — 1 to 2 g — stirred into the milk before steaming, or sifted over the foam at the end. More than that and the natural sugars start to caramelise on the steam wand or coat your tongue. For a mocha-style drink, pair one teaspoon of carob with a quarter teaspoon of cocoa to keep the chocolate bitterness while leaning on carob for sweetness.
• Can I use a teaspoon of carob flour instead of a teaspoon of cocoa in spice blends?
  For dry rubs and mole-style blends, yes — a 2 g teaspoon of carob brings colour and roundness without the bitter edge cocoa gives. The trade-off is that carob caramelises faster on a hot grill or in a dry pan, so apply rubs containing carob just before cooking rather than as a long marinade, and keep the heat under medium-high to stop the surface from blackening.
• Why does a teaspoon of carob flour clump when I add it to cold milk?
  The fine particles trap air and the natural sugars grab moisture from the surface, sealing each clump. Sift the 2.15 g teaspoon through a tea strainer as you add it, or shake it with the cold milk in a sealed jar for ten seconds. A handheld milk frother also breaks the clumps in a few pulses, which matters when a single teaspoon is meant to flavour the whole glass evenly.
