Preparation
The ritual begins with the preparation itself. Put on some lovely music, lay everything out, and savor every single step. Let's begin...
It's That Simple
For one cup of cacao, you'll need
15 g – Cacao as a Daily Dose (1 tbsp)
30 g – Cacao as a Ritual Dose (2 tbsp)
200 ml water or plant-based milk
Spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, chili, or 1 tsp – Cacao Spice
A Guide to Preparation
Take 200 ml oat milk or water for one cup of heart-opening cacao. Then add 30 g (2 heaping tbsp) of cacao to the warm (not boiling) liquid. Stir until the cacao has completely dissolved. Then add ½ to 1 teaspoon of one of our two cacao spice blends, "Mindful Bliss" or "Vanilla Bliss". Alternatively, you can add a teaspoon of coconut blossom sugar and half a teaspoon of cinnamon to the liquid. Finally, you can add a pinch of chili powder. Chili supports the absorption of the cacao, as it stimulates circulation.
Dosing Your Cacao
For the ingredients of one cup of cacao, we used 30 g of cacao – this is our "Ritual Dose – Dance with the Cacao Spirit." Ritual cacao affects everyone a little differently, though. It also depends on how you're feeling that day and the occasion for which you want to drink this medicine of the heart. Over the many years, we've experimented a great deal, prepared cacao for thousands of people, and gathered a wealth of experience along the way. And so, in our blog article "Dosage Recommendations for Ritual Cacao", we've put together different dosages for different occasions.
