Ceremonial Cacao - Fire Element: Ignite your passion (100 g - 3.53 oz) by Cacao Laboratory

Cacao is a fruit grown in tropical environments around the world and It is what gives chocolate its signature taste. It’s also responsible for the good feelings that we experience when we eat it. Cacao itself is made from fermented Cacao fruit seeds that are ground into a paste. Since it was first discovered at least 5,000 years ago, Cacao has been considered medicine and is consumed during rituals and ceremonies.

Cacao Laboratory’s The Sacred Elements Blends were created to help you harness the qualities of each of the four sacred elements. With each blend you will receive instructions on how to conduct the sacred ritual of cacao ceremony as well as access to a guided meditation that will assist you in your journey. Fire blend was made to help you gain confidence in your self. Great before a long day or a night of dancing.

Ingredients: Ceremonial Cacao, Damiana, Turmeric, Black Pepper.

Servings: 3 servings

INSTRUCTIONS: Unlike cocoa powder, ceremonial cacao has not been defatted and requires warm water and thorough blending for it to mix well. Add approximately 1/3 of the bar to warm water (not boiling) and mix well. You can also blend it with milk for a creamier texture. Since this cacao paste has no additional ingredients, it can be a bit bitter for the first time. You can add dates, honey, or any sweetener of your choice.
