Coffee powder deepens it rather than announcing itself, adding roast and a dry edge that stops the sugar running away. Cumin, mustard flour and garlic build a savoury middle, and chipotle powder trails smoke across the finish. It's the least sweet sauce in the range and all the better for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to cook with it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlice a rested brisket against the grain and pour a line of this down the side of the board — dip, don't drown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm it gently and brush over beef short ribs in the final half hour so the coffee bitterness sets against the bark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhisk a spoonful into pan juices with a knob of butter for a steak sauce that tastes like a twelve-hour cook.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrizzle it over fried eggs the morning after a cook.
