DO YOU STILL SELL MELANGE CLASSIQUE GROUND?
Thanks for reaching out. We chose to take Melange Classique out of inventory because demand was not high enough to keep our stock fresh. The good news is that we’re sharing all the recipe, so those who love it can continue to make it. It’s an easy blend to make and can be ground in either a coffee grinder that is used for spices or using a mortar and pestle. This recipe makes a small batch, but can easily be doubled or tripled, then stored in a jar.
