Ingredients:

Liquid: We like to use plant-based milk. Our favorites are oat milk, coconut and hazelnut milk. Water and any other milk also works fine. You can experiment and see which one you like the most. Using water is also a great choice, it is the purest form to drink and you will taste the full character of the cacao.  

Cacao: The quantity can vary between 15 grams (light daily dose) and 35 grams (high ceremonial dose). For daily use we like to take around 20 grams which is approximately two table spoons. We invite you to experiment and see what quantity you like as everybody can experience it differently. Then cut the cacao in pieces, so it mixes easier.

Optional: Add some herbs or superfoods. For example: cinnamon, cayenne pepper, vanilla, cardamom, maca powder, honey, mushroom extract like chaga, lionsmane,... there are many options. For more info about the power of medicinal (non-psychedelic) mushrooms check www.foodsporen.nl. Our friend Mart just started this project out of his love for mushrooms as medicine for people. He offers really high quality mushroom extracts.

Mixing

Then put the pieces of cacao in a pan together with a cup full of liquid and your extra ingredients. Heat it up, but don’t boil it (to preserve the nutritional values). It really helps to mix it well, with a blender, milkfoamer or mixer. Then the cacao butter can dissolve really well into the liquid.
