Bryan's Cacao Recipe

Ceremonial Cacao

Serves 1

Ingredients:

  • 10 ounces almond milk (or water)
  • 1 ounce ceremonial grade cacao flakes (about 2 heaping tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 shakes cinnamon
  • 1-2 shakes cardamom
  • 1-2 shakes salt

Instructions:

  1. First, bring your almond milk to a gentle boil in a small pot on the stovetop. Watch carefully to prevent boiling over.
  2. While the milk heats, add your cacao flakes, maple syrup, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt to your serving mug.
  3. Once the milk reaches a boil, remove it from heat and pour it over the ingredients in your mug.
  4. Now for frothing - you have three options:
  • For the smoothest result: Pour everything into a blender and blend until thoroughly combined and frothy
  • For a quick option: Use a handheld milk frother to combine and create foam
  • For a simple approach: Stir thoroughly with a spoon until well combined

The hot liquid will help melt the cacao flakes as you mix. Stir occasionally while drinking to prevent settling.

For best results, take a moment to enjoy the aroma and drink mindfully - ceremonial cacao is traditionally consumed as a meditative practice.
