Cascara

CASCARA – HONDURAS “LAS CAPUCAS”

Cascara is most commonly used to make a tisane (herbal tea), and for good reason: its flavor is reminiscent of hibiscus, cider, and orange zest. It’s a tangy, slightly sweet brew.

Cascara also makes a delicious syrup, bringing out rich notes of dried fruit (think raisins and apricots). Use it in place of simple syrup in hot or iced coffee and lattes, as the base for an Italian soda, or to add another dimension to cocktails.
