CACAO RECIPES

I hope that these recipes that you will see below encourage you to try different ways of preparing your Cacao. 

You will see that you can use water, nut milk, natural sweeteners, edible essences, spices, and of course infusions or other medicinal plants that you like. 

Don't forget that Cacao is a food and as such it allow us to play when preparing it. Combine it however you like or feel best and let this wonderful medicine work on you.

Cacao Drink

For recipes I always like to recommend the use of a mixer since the butter that Cacao naturally contains mixes better with the liquid we use.

It is also important that we do not let the water or milk boil, heat it no more than 90ºC.

Ingredients:

  • Between 15 and 30 grams of chopped Cacao
  • 200 ml of water

While the water is heating, we put the cacao in a blender, if you like it sweet you can add some syrup, panela or honey, once hot we add the liquid and blend for a few seconds. 

If we choose to prepare your drink in a pot, you must mix for about 20 minutes so that the elements are well incorporated, always paying attention that the preparation does not boil.

And that's it! 

Serve your Cacao in a cup that you like and enjoy this exquisite and healthy drink.

Milk and Mint Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 5 to 30 grams of shredded Cacao
  • 1 drop of edible mint essence
  • 200 ml of nut milk

While heating the milk, put the cacao and mint essence in a blender. We can always add something to sweeten, it can be honey, agave or any syrup or whatever we like best.

Once hot add the liquid and blend for a few seconds.

If we choose to prepare our drink in a pot, we must mix for about 20 minutes so that the elements are well incorporated, always paying attention that the preparation does not boil.

Serve in your favorite cup.

Enjoy this delicious cacao!

Cinnamon - Vanilla Recipe

Cinnamon - Vanilla

Ingredients:

  • 15 to 30 grams of shredded Cacao
  • 1/2 tea spoon of Cinnamon
  • A bit of Vanilla
  • Agave syrup

Put the Cacao in a blender (better), find your own dose between 1 or 2 tablespoons of shredded cacao and add the cinnamon, and vanilla (you can use vanilla essence, or powder). If you like a bit of sweetness you can add any of your preference sweetener, I like to use Agave as it has a neutral flavor.

Serve in your favorite cup and enjoy this beautiful moment with Cacao!
