Recipe for 1 person - Vegan & Gluten Free
Ingredients
25g Ritual Cacao
250ml Spring Water
An Unwaxed Orange
Agave (or any sweetener of your choice)
Instructions
Finely chop your Ritual Cacao or break off a petal if you are using our pods.
Pour the spring water into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Once the water is boiling, turn the heat down to a simmer and add your chopped cacao or cacao petal.
Stir gently with a wooden spoon or whisk until all the cacao has dissolved fully.
Making sure to keep the heat low, so that the cacao never boils. Just gently simmers.
You will know when the cacao is ready once it starts to thicken and you see the beautiful cacao butter rise to the top. The longer and slower you take to cook up your cacao, the creamier it will be.
With a fine grater, grate some orange peel and add to your cacao brew for a minute so the orange flavours infuse with the cacao. The smell is just something else!
If you don’t like little bits, you can add strips of orange peel instead and remove once served.
Sweeten to taste with agave.
Pour into your favourite Ritual Cup and enjoy.
