Cold-Poached<br />
Dried Figs<br />

1/4 c triple sec<br />
2 tbsp granulated sugar<br />

Plant-Based Aphrodisiacs<br />
Sure, everyone thinks of oysters when aphrodisiac food comes to<br />
mind, but did you know figs rank even higher on the lusty eats scale?<br />
As do avocados, asparagus, pomegranates, beets, and more. Part<br />
myth, part science, the shapes and symbolic traits of the food we eat<br />
have been known to stir deeper feelings than just a full tummy by<br />
sending subtle cues to our sub conscious. Word on the street is that<br />
figs were the original forbidden fruit. So, while serving your<br />
Valentine these chewy, slightly citrus delights, marvel at how being<br />
so bad can still be so good.<br />
