Ingredients: Raw Organic Cacao

Pure Intentions: This Organic Cacao is single origin, ceremonial grade Cacao from Ecuador, from our heart to yours, bringing real medicinal chocolate to the community who seeks it's potent heart-opening properties.

How To Prepare: 
For a traditional ceremonial dose, we recommend 1 oz (approximately 40 discs) prepared with 16 oz of hot water or plant-based milk. You can also create a creamier blend using half water and half plant-based milk. Oat milk and coconut milk are especially delicious with cacao.

There is no need to follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Feel free to experiment with your serving size and discover what feels right for you. If you’re new to ceremonial cacao, we recommend starting with 5–10 discs and gradually increasing your dose from there.

Prepare a pot of water or plant based milk, and add your preferred amount of cacao into the pot after chopping it down. Stir frequently as the liquid begins to heat up, and the cacao begins to melt. Remove from stove when the cacao has mostly melted. Feel free to use a hand blender or frother to create a creamier blend, or transfer to a blender before you drink.

Feel free to add maple syrup, coconut sugar or any other sweetener you desire. You can also add cinnamon, cayenne pepper, turmeric, ground vanilla, lavender, rose or any other spices you'd like.
