HOW TO PREPARE THIS WONDERFUL BEVERAGE?
NATURAL CACAO IS TOO BITTER FOR MY TASTE, CAN I STILL ENJOY THIS BEVERAGE?
O yes! There are many different recipes to enhance the taste. Some recipes call for milk which makes a delicious and more creamy beverage, condensed and evaporated milk are most popular. The vegan community adds plant based milk ( coconut, oat or almond milk) for a milky hot chocolate taste.
​If it still too bitter add more milk.
IS DRINKING CACAO DAILY HEALTHY ?
It is very safe to drink cacao daily. We advise you to listen to your body and find what dose works best for you.Large amount of raw cacao can be dangerous. For starters, it contains theobromine. Consuming too much of this compound (which is very possible considering chocolate’s wonderful taste) can lead to unwelcome side effects like nausea, trembling, and sweating. Listen to your body and find what dose works best for you.
We strongly recommend boiling your ground cacao for 8-15 minutes. The key is to dissolve the cacao into the hot water. Brewed cacao can be enjoyed black, with milk or nondairy creamer and a touch of sweetener if desired. Most drink lovers add vanilla beans and custard for thickness. Instruction labels are on the back of each packet to make the perfect cup every time. Remember to strain into a cup and ENJOY!.
