Traditional preparation:

Boil a cup of water (~250 ml) in a kettle or saucepan and let it cool slightly.

Cut 15g of cacao from the block and put it in a cup. The amount of cacao can be gradually increased, but should not exceed 30g per day.

TIP: Cut the cocoa a little smaller, so that it dissolves better.

First add some of the water (3 - 4 tablespoons) to the cocoa and mix everything well until the cacao has dissolved. Take like to consciously take some time.

Add the remaining water to the cup and enjoy the wonderful effect of ceremonial cacao on body, mind and soul.

Alternative preparation & tips:

Put 15g (or up to 30g) into a blender with 200-250ml of hot water and mix until it foams.

Or you can use the raw cocoa as an ingredient in foods, smoothies, breakfast bowls, ice cream, energy balls and much more!

Alternatively, you can use milk instead of water if the cocoa tastes too bitter with water.
