This is how you make a cacao drink

What You'll Need

Basic ingredients:

• Pure ceremonial cacao (paste or blocks)
• 200-250 ml hot water or plant-based milk (almond, oat, coconut)

Optional

• Sweetener of choice (maple syrup, honey, agave) - optional
• Pinch of sea salt
• Spices (cinnamon, cayenne, cardamom, vanilla)

Instructions:

1. Choose Your Dose

The right amount determines the intensity of your experience. Cacao contains theobromine, a natural, mild stimulant that gives energy without the spike of caffeine.

• For everyday use: 10-25 grams. Perfect for daily drinking, focus, or as a coffee alternative.
• For ceremonial use: 35-45 gram. Ideal for rituals, meditation, or deeper emotional connection.

2. Heat Your Liquid

Warm your water or milk to 70-80°C (160-175°F). This is hot enough to melt the cacao properly while keeping the flavor smooth and gentle.

3. Melt the Cacao

Add the cacao to the warm liquid and stir until melted. This takes a few minutes.

4. Create Foam

Blend or whisk until frothy. You can use:

• A whisk
• A milk frother

1. Add sweetener, salt or other spices

Once melted and frothy, add these to your liking:

• Sweetener to taste (1-2 teaspoons)
• Pinch of sea salt for depth
• Pinch of cinnamon, cayenne, cardamom, vanilla

5. Pour and Enjoy

Pour into your favorite mug. Take a moment to feel the warmth in your hands, breathe deeply, and sip slowly.

Dont forget to hydrate well! Cacao is slightly drying, so important to drink well during the day. :)
