Fraus - North Melbourne (Mint)

Fraus - Mint

Served at a steaming hot temperature, that might be a bit too hot for some. If you read the menu description, you expect it to be green and explosive in your mouth. But 1: it’s not green and 2: there’s no Listerine like explosion of powerful mint in your mouth. The mint flavour definitely needs to be stronger. But if you do wait for the aftertaste the flavour does become a bit more evident and is refreshing in your mouth. Once you’re at about half way you can start to feel the mint in your breath which is lovely. As you get towards the end of the drink the mint does become more powerful, but still not as strong as I’d prefer. Now I was actually hoping to have a massive mint shot at the end to really end with a zing, but instead it disappeared completely. But on the plus side it was super thick!

Summary: You order it expecting to get a refreshing hit of minty-ness to liven up your taste buds, but it doesn’t really live up to that. It’s more of a normal hot chocolate with a subtle mint edge to it.
