How to make your daily drink or ceremonial cacao

42g cacao ceremony dose or 20g for a daily drink 

Filter water 250mls

Sweetener if needed, choose one.  Agave, Xylitol,  locally sourced  Honey, 1 medjool date, maple syrup, coconut sugar, lucuma

Pinch of sea salt

Optional - Pinch of chilli/cayenne pepper Cardamom, Vanilla, Cinnamon to taste, 

If you are going to add milk please only use plant base milk not cow's milk to keep the cacao pure. 

Almond - Coconut -  Hemp milk is preferable

you can also make your almond milk click here.

You can use a pan on the stove or a blender,

I tend to use a small milk pan, 

wooden spoon & hand whisk.

 1. Boiling water is not necessary or recommended, try water just warm enough to barely keep a finger in it no more than 42*C

(cacao can be drunk warm or cold)

 2. Always keep on low heat and never let the cacao come to a boil as this changes its molecular structure and the way our bodies can absorb its nutrients. 

3. Shave the Cacao from the block as finely as you can, I tend to just use a knife and break it down into small pieces as it is quicker to soften in the water.

 ( Some cacao you can buy pre-grounded)  if you have a high-speed blender you can turn it into a powder. The smoother the better!

Pro tips: It is nice to keep a spoon or whisk nearby when serving as cacao will tend to settle at the bottom of the vessel

1. Using 100mls of your filter water in a pan, Heat remember not to boil no more than 42*c

    Add your cacao and stir into the water with love,

This will make a  paste

2. Add to your paste the rest off the water 150ml or 150 ml plant base milk,

keep on gentle heat if using a pan, use a whisk to blend the cacao

Never leave your cacao, as you stir the cacao put in your  love, intention & gratitude,

 some people chant mantras or sing to their cacao, put your intention into the cacao 

3. Add sweeteners if needed, and all other ingredients.

Transfer to a cup ready to drink.

Hold to your heart  &  connect to your heart & blend  with the cacao energy 

Set your intention 

If you are using a blender

Add filtered water/plant milk 250mls  & cacao, and blend for a smoother, thicker, creamy  texture

 Add all other ingredients & sweeten if needed  then  blend,

Cooled Boiled  water no more than 42*C and add it to the blender with your Cacao

You can it blend all together then heat it in a pan after or drink it cold.

 

  Note some blenders do not like too much heat!

So easy!

Transfer to a cup ready to drink.

Hold to your heart  &  connect to your heart & blend  with the cacao energy
