Welcome! So you are preparing your first delicious cup of Mmm Cacao. Here we share with you how you can create your own homemade cup of nourishing love.
We want to give you an amazing experience while preparing and drinking this cacao so we share with you some best practices.
Before we start:
Cacao is best created with love. So take a moment to be present. You can do a short meditation or focus on your breath for a minute to come to the present moment. And set an intention to prepare this cup with your love & presence.
Pro tip: Turn on some music! We recommend music tuned with 432hz. This helps the cacao to bring forth their best qualities. And it’s fun for you and for the cacao! Now, when you are here, let’s get started!
Ingredients: (for 1 cup)
- 250ml vegan milk of your choice or water
- 2 table spoons of Mmm Cacao powder
- 1/4 tea spoon of cinnamon
- 1/8 tea spoon of nutmeg
- A pinch of chili pepper
- 1 table spoon of honey
Preparation:
1. Grab a small bowl, and put the two table spoons of cacao in. Add the other spices to the bowl. Stir the spices, until you create a nice mix.
2. Add a small amount of vegan milk to create a paste. Stir the milk and spices until it starts to form into a beautiful paste.
3. Now heat the remaining milk slowly with low heat. Make sure you keep the temperature below cooking point. Preferably below 70 degrees. The cacao tastes best if it hasn’t been cooked above 70 degrees.
4. When the milk is warm, slowly add the cacao paste. Stir the paste, until the cacao softly melts into the milk. Simmer for 9 minutes, until the cacao is completely melted into the milk. Then remove the pan from the heat.
5. Pour your cacao into your favorite cup and add the honey to your desired sweetness.
Drinking your cacao:
Well done! You have prepared this cup with love and intention. Now we sit down to drink this cacao in a conscious way for the best experience throughout your day.
1. Sit down with your cup
2. Pick up your cup and feel the warmth through your hands
3. Connect to the cacao and the cacao spirit
4. Set your intention for your day
Your intention can be anything that you would love to experience this day. For example: “My intention for today is to create with love and joy.”
