Foundation Cacao Recipe

This cacao recipe can be amended & added to as much as you like. Check out the end of this article for some more inspiration on how to enhance your Cacao.

There are many ways to customise & enjoy your Ceremonial Cacao, but it’s great to start with the basic instructions below. 

No matter how you like yours, make it with a loving intention and drink with gratitude.

For a daily dose of self nurturing:
  1. In a saucepan gently heat 1 cup of your favourite plant based milk (I use coconut). Don’t use cow’s milk for your Cacao drink
  1. Using a sharp knife shave roughly 20gms of Cacao off your block and add to the liquid 
  1. As the Cacao is melting, whisk well
  1. Do not allow the milk/mixture to boil

Sit and mindfully enjoy!

Ceremonial Dose

For a deeper experience alone or in a group you may wish to increase the cacao to 42gms

Dreamer’s Dose

For your evening Cacao & some sweet dreams use 8-12gms 

Cacao Recipe Variations
  • Use a mix of plant milk & water for a lighter drink.
  • Include a sweetener such as organic honey or coconut sugar if you wish. 
  • Try a pinch of cayenne, cinnamon, clove or chili to taste.
