How to Brew Ceremonial Cacao.

Simple to prepare. The ritual is in the slowness, not the technique.

Slow & Simple · The Method

Four Gentle Steps

There is no wrong way to brew cacao. What matters is the intention you bring and the moment you make for yourself.

Here is the way we love to prepare ours.

1 · Warm

Heat 1 cup of water or milk to just below a simmer. Cacao is happiest around 70 to 80 degrees.

2 · Melt

Add your chopped dose of cacao and let it soften for a moment.

3 · Whisk

Whisk, froth or blend until smooth, glossy and gently frothed.

4 · Pause

Add spices or sweetener to taste. Then pause, and set an intention before your first sip.

Start with 10–15g of cacao and taper up as you adjust your recipe.
