Purpose:
Soul-Warming Chili Cacao is a stimulating and invigorating blend designed for ceremonies focused on awakening and energizing. The heat from the chili peppers stimulates circulation and ignites the body’s energy, making this drink perfect for breaking through stagnation and fostering a sense of vitality and passion.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz (28g) ceremonial-grade cacao, chopped or grated
- 1 cup (240ml) hot water or milk
- A pinch of chili powder (adjust according to your heat preference)
- A pinch of cinnamon (for depth and warmth)
- 1-2 tsp honey or agave syrup (optional, to balance the heat)
Instructions:
- Heat the Liquid
Gently warm the water or milk in a saucepan over medium heat, taking care not to boil. - Mix the Cacao with Spices
Place the cacao in a mug. Add the chili powder and cinnamon, then pour the hot liquid over it. Allow the mixture to sit for a moment to soften the cacao. - Stir Thoroughly
Stir vigorously until the cacao is completely dissolved and the spices are well incorporated. - Sweeten to Taste
If desired, add honey or agave syrup to sweeten the mixture. This can help balance the spiciness of the chili and enhance the overall flavor. - Serve with Intention
Pour the prepared cacao into a ceremonial cup. Before drinking, take a moment to feel the warmth of the mixture and smell the rich, spicy aroma. Set an intention related to awakening, energy, or passion.
