How to make your daily drink or ceremonial cacao
Daily dose off cacao is 20g
Ceremonial dose is 42g (this may be lowered if you have any Contraindications)
Step by step guide & tips
If you are taking a ceremonial dose (30–42g), it works best to do so on an empty stomach.
I recommend against having a big meal before your ceremony.
If you are making cacao for your online ceremoney do not drink your cacao until you are asked to by your facilitator.
What do I need to make my cacao
42g cacao cermony dose or 20g for daily drink
Filter water 250mls
Sweetener's 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 are preferable
you can also make your own 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 wisk .
Note's & Tip's
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 are able to 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 in to small piece's as it 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
