How to prepare

3 Steps to Your Cacao Drink

A simple, slow practice. Let each step be part of the ritual.

Breaking pieces of the Herbal Cacao disc on a wooden surface
01

Choose Your Dose

Break a piece from your 100g disc. 10g for a daily cup, 20g for meditation, 30-50g for ceremony. Each person feels cacao differently. Begin gently.

Add Warm Liquid

Warm water, plant milk (oat is silky and sweet), or herbal tea to about 70°C. Never boil. Natural is pure cacao, so feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon, cayenne or a drop of honey if your heart asks for it.

Blend & Froth

Whisk with a molinillo, hand whisk, or blender until a soft foam crowns the cup. The rainbow shimmer of the froth is the spirit of Ix Cacao herself. As you stir, weave in your intention.

2Step Two

Set Your Intention

What is your heart whispering to you right now? Choose an intention that resonates, or write your own.

I return to simplicity and trust what is.
I meet this moment exactly as I am.
Nothing more is needed than what I already am.
I open my heart to the pure medicine of cacao.
I honour the hands and the land behind my cup.
I listen to the quiet wisdom within.

Open Your Heart

"Take a moment to arrive. Let the warmth of your cup become an anchor, a moment to fully arrive in the present. As you sip, invite your heart to open."Sharon Fernie
