Whether you’re in the mood for a cozy treat or a mindful ritual, there’s a beautiful way to enjoy our pure, high-cacao bars. Below are two styles of preparing drinking chocolate—modern for comfort, and ceremonial for connection.

🍫 1. Modern Drinking Chocolate (Comfort in a Cup)

This is your go-to recipe for a smooth, satisfying hot chocolate using our 70% or 100% bars. It’s simple, delicious, and deeply nourishing.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz of our 70% or 100% dark chocolate, chopped

  • 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based) or hot water

  • Sweetener to taste (optional)

  • Pinch of salt (optional)

How to Make It:

  1. Heat the milk or water until hot but not boiling.

  2. Add chopped chocolate and whisk until fully melted and silky.

  3. Taste and adjust with a touch of sweetener or salt if desired.

  4. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy.

💡 Pro tip: Our 100% bar is unsweetened and ideal for those who prefer intense cacao. You can always customize sweetness to your liking!

 

🌿 2. Ceremonial Drinking Chocolate (Cacao with Intention)

Ceremonial cacao is all about presence. Made with 100% pure cacao, it’s often enjoyed as part of a ritual, meditation, or journaling practice. No dairy, no distractions—just cacao and you.

Ingredients:

  • 1–1.5 oz of 100% ceremonial-grade cacao, chopped

  • 3/4 to 1 cup of hot (but not boiling) water

  • Optional: cinnamon, cayenne, cardamom, vanilla

  • Optional: a touch of raw honey or maple syrup

  • Optional: pinch of sea salt

How to Make It:

  1. Heat the water until steamy but not boiling (around 160–170°F).

  2. Combine the cacao with water and whisk or blend until smooth and frothy.

  3. Add spices or a touch of sweetener if desired.

  4. Sip slowly, ideally in a quiet moment. Set an intention if it feels right.

This is a drink meant to ground you, uplift you, and reconnect you—with yourself and your day.
