Preparation of Cacao

Ceremonial Cacao (Traditional & Intensive)
💫 Deeply rooted & heart-opening

Ingredients (for 1 serving):

• 30 g ceremonial raw cacao (high-quality, 100% pure)
• 200 ml hot water (approx. 70-80°C, not boiling!)
• 1 pinch of cayenne pepper (for blood circulation)
• ¼ tsp cinnamon (warming & harmonizing)
• ¼ tsp cardamom (for a delicate aroma)
• Optional: 1 tsp agave syrup or honey (if you want a slight sweetness)

Preparation:

Dissolve cocoa:

• Heat the water to approximately 70-80°C (not boiling to preserve the nutrients).
• Slowly stir in the cocoa and stir with a whisk (or wooden spoon) until it is completely dissolved.

Stir in spices:

• Add cayenne pepper, cinnamon and cardamom.
• If desired, stir in agave or honey.

Enjoy & feel:

• Drink the cocoa consciously and slowly – ideally in a quiet environment, perhaps with a little intention or meditation.

✨ Tip: Traditionally, the cacao is not stirred with a spoon, but by consciously drinking and gently circling the cup.

Heat milk & melt cocoa:
