Purpose:
The Sacred Maca Cacao is crafted for ceremonies focused on energy, grounding, and inner strength. Maca root is known for its energizing and adaptogenic properties, helping to balance energy levels and support resilience. This recipe pairs maca’s earthy tones with ceremonial cacao, making it ideal for meditation, focus, or grounding ceremonies where inner strength is the focus.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz (28g) ceremonial-grade cacao, chopped or grated
- 1 cup (240ml) hot water or almond milk
- 1 tsp maca powder (for grounding energy)
- A pinch of sea salt (to enhance flavors)
- 1-2 tsp honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions:
- Heat the Water or Milk
Warm the water or almond milk over medium heat, taking care not to boil, as this can reduce the maca’s nutritional benefits. - Mix the Cacao and Maca
Place the cacao and maca powder in a mug. Pour the warm water or milk over the mixture, allowing it to sit for a moment to soften. Stir or whisk until the cacao and maca are fully blended and smooth. - Add Sea Salt and Sweetener
Add a pinch of sea salt to bring out the flavors. Sweeten with honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar if desired, adjusting to taste. - Serve and Sip with Intention
Take a deep breath, inhaling the earthy aroma of maca and cacao. Sip slowly, embracing the grounded, nourishing qualities of this drink.
Tips for Ceremony:
- Create an Energizing Space
Set up your ceremony space with grounding elements. You might use earthy-colored fabrics, stones, or natural materials to create a setting that resonates with the energy of the maca root. - Set an Intention for Strength and Balance
As you hold your drink, set an intention related to energy, balance, or resilience. Maca’s adaptogenic properties make this blend excellent for ceremonies focused on building strength and stability. - Practice Centered Breathing
Between sips, practice slow, deep breaths to anchor yourself. Visualize the grounding energy of maca and cacao bringing stability and strength, helping you feel centered and balanced.
