Pern: Fanart/Recipe: Klah

Title: Klah
Fandom: Dragonriders of Pern
Rating: G
Summary: I made up a couple of recipes for klah, which would be the Pern coffee equivalent.  Then I drew a fire lizard drinking klah, which does not happen in the books.  Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre thing.





Klah I

1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/8 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 tsp honey
1 cup water or milk

Mix dry ingredients together in a mug, then add just enough water or milk to make a smooth paste (about 2 tsp). Add the rest of the water or milk and microwave until hot (about 1 and 1/2 minutes). Add the honey, then possibly add more honey to taste, since it's about as bitter as coffee.

Klah II (Spicy)


1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne
1 tsp honey
1 cup water or milk

Mix dry ingredients together in a mug, then add just enough water or milk to make a smooth paste (about 2 tsp). Add the rest of the water or milk and microwave until hot (about 1 and 1/2 minutes). Add the honey, then possibly add more honey to taste, since it's about as bitter as coffee.

Thanks! The spicy version was actually too hot for me, but I threw it in there for, you know, people who like spicy foods.

How funny, I often drink something almost just like your first recipe, with carob instead of cocoa (which I have an adverse reaction to). I started drinking it because I felt left out when others had hot chocolate. :) I'm not sure I've ever had ginger in it, though, I'll have to try!

That is so cool! I love cooking with cardamom and ginger, they are my two favourite spices. The one time I tried carob it was in the form of a chocolate chip substitute, and I did not love it. Maybe I should give it a try again in beverage form.

Carob can be an acquired taste. I think it might be more popular if it weren't viewed as a chocolate substitute; if you're expecting it to taste like chocolate you'll be disappointed. They're both brown, that's about as far as it goes!

HEE! This looks like loads of deliciousness. I'm especially amused by the "add honey and then more honey" bit. XD And your fire lizard is just too cute.

Thanks!! I think, in theory, klah should be coffee-like, but for actual, like, stuff to drink, I kind prefer it as more hot chocolate with spices in it. :D

Wow, this sounds delicious -- just like what I imagined klah would taste like in the books. And I love the art! So adorable.

Thank you, that is awesome. I love the descriptions of the food in Pern, and trying to imagine what it would taste like.
