🔥How to Prepare the Cacao
- Chop the cacao finely.
- Warm the water gently – don't let it boil.
- Add water slowly to the cacao, on low heat, creating a paste and slowly finding the right consistency.
- Mix in spices of your choice.
- Blend if you like it frothy – this activates the texture beautifully. Step 3 is not neccesary if you use a blender.
- Pour into your favorite cup.
✨Make it Sacred!
When you prepare cacao for use in a ceremony, make the preparation a ritual itself.
