Adaptogenic Cacao (Hot or Cold!)
I encourage you to create this drink and allow yourself to feel connected to its rich history and sacredness.
Cacao’s history is one worth researching.
It’s much more than an ingredient in milk chocolate, it’s sacred. With its origins in Mesoamerica and Ancient South America, the special bean is dated back to as early as 1900 BCE.
Said to be a gift from the Gods, the beans from the native cacao tree were an important element in people’s lives. Sustainable sourcing of cacao is important to me, because it is a direct line to my ancestry. I am grateful for this incredible bean and all it has done. I enjoy it with respect and intention.
This recipe is one of the most special to me, as I enjoy it while in thought. Rather, it provokes thought. I encourage you to create this drink and allow yourself to feel connected to its rich history and sacredness.
An honor it is to experience cacao.
