Recipe for 1 person - Vegan & Gluten Free
Ingredients
25g Ritual Cacao
250ml Spring Water
Lavender Essential Oil (ingestible)
1/2 Teaspoon of Coconut Oil
Coconut Sugar (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.
Add a couple drops of Lavender Essential Oil to the water , 1 - 2 drops is plenty per person.
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.
Once off the heat add 1/2 a teaspoon of Coconut Oil and stir until dissolved.
Sweeten to taste with coconut sugar if desired.
Pour into your favourite Ritual Cup and enjoy.
