Thompson gives an overview of roasting cacao at home in this 20 minute video, to support our recent Coffee and Cacao Exploration Set. Roasting cacao is fun and has a lot of crossover with home coffee roasting. The aromas when roasting cacao are amazing, and there are some simple things you can do with it like making fresh cocoa tea, or simply eating the cocoa beans! We also have a series of articles on our Coffee Library site to support this temporary detour we are doing into cocoa, including ideas to roast cacao in the Behmor coffee roaster or your oven / toaster oven. https://library.sweetmarias.com/how-to-roast-cacao-at-home/
