Per individual dose, you will need:

​

• 20gr (daily dose) or 42 gr (ceremonial dose) of cacao

• 250 ml of water or any other non-diary milk

 

Bring water or non-dairy milk to the boil, if you wish to use any herbs or spices place them in the water at the beginning so you can prepare a sort of tea (unless they are in powder from, which in that case you add them after adding the cacao) . Once it has reached the boiling point, turn off the heat and let the herbs and spices infuse the water for 1 minute or so. Remove the spices and then add the cacao and stir until it dissolves, stir well with a mixer until it froths.

It is advised not to use ceremonial dose more than 3 x per week , as 42gms can be heavy on the adrenals.

​

 If you find it too bitter you can add honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup but refined sugar is not recommended.

​

Bring water or non-dairy milk to the boil and once it is boiling add the cacao and stir until it dissolves, bring the water to simmer and stir till the mixture has thickened. It is advised not to use ceremonial dose more than 3 x per week , as 42gms can be heavy on the adrenals.
