1
Prepare the Cacao Base
In a small saucepan, combine the ceremonial cacao powder and water. Whisk together until the cacao is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
2
Add Flavorings
Add the vanilla extract, maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of sea salt to the cacao mixture. Stir well to combine.
3
Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently heat the mixture, stirring constantly until it is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat once hot.

4
Choose Your Milk
Select one of the milk options (organic whole, oat, or house-made cashew milk). If using house-made cashew milk, prepare it by blending soaked cashews with water until smooth and creamy.
5
Heat the Milk
In a separate saucepan, heat the selected milk over medium-low heat until warm. Do not let it boil.

6
Combine and Serve
Pour the heated cacao base into a mug, then add the warm milk of your choice. Stir gently to combine. Serve hot and enjoy your ceremonial cacao!
