Step 2: Add Warm Liquid
- Water (This is the traditional way of preparing your Ceremonial Cacao drink)
- (Plant) Milk *Oats milk is recommended for a nice sweet, silky smooth texture. [Recent studies suggest that cows’ milk may blocks the absorption of the high antioxidants & minerals cacao contains]
- Herbal Tea,- (This is recommended only for our “Natural” 100 % Ceremonial Cacao,- Herbal Cacao offers powerful Ceremonial Cacao blends with nicely balanced out spices included)
*Try not to boil the liquid, as it changes the chemical nature of the bean. We recommend +/- 70°C so your cacao drink is not too hot to drink and maintains its nutritional value.
Some of our Herbal Cacao blends are already potently spiced. Feel free to add any other sweeteners / herbs / spices / essential oils of your choice.

Mix and Froth: Combine with hot water or plant-based milk using a traditional wooden whisk “molinillo“, or an electric or regular hand whisk. Alternatively, you could also use an electric blender to create a luxurious froth.
