Cacao Ceremony Recipe
Ceremonial cacao is a drink that connects you with your inner wisdom, awakens your senses, and nourishes your body and soul. It’s made from pure cacao paste that has been used for healing for millennia. Cacao is full of antioxidants, minerals, and mood-boosting compounds that support your health and well-being. Set an intention for your cacao ceremony and enjoy this sacred plant medicine.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce (about 2 tablespoons) ceremonial grade cacao
- ⅔ cup almond milk *or plant based milk of your choice
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup *or agave nectar or coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
Instructions
- Heat your water or milk to 170 ℉ (77 ℃). Like green tea, using boiling water with cacao could heat out all the powerful nutrients.
- Place the cacao in a blender ( a bullet blender is perfect for this) or a small pot and pour in the heated water or milk.
- Add the maple syrup, salt, vanilla, cinnamon and cayenne pepper and blend or whisk until smooth and frothy.
- Pour your cacao drink into a mug and enjoy! Set an intention for your ceremony before drinking it.
Notes
- It's very important that the water or milk used to make ceremonial cacao is not fully boiled. If it's too hot, many of the beneficial properties of the cacao will be nullified.
