​
ONE LOVE COCOA HOT DRINK
​
1 - Finely chop the cocoa on a kitchen board while you heat the water, which should not be boiling.
2 - Add the chopped cocoa to the water.
Look at the texture of the liquid and adjust the amount of cocoa to taste.
Approximately 25-28 g for a 250 ml cup.
3 - If you wish, add spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, chilli and salt.
We recommend maple syrup for sweetening.
Alternatively, spice your water before adding the cocoa, for example with ginger or aromatic herbs.
4 - Mix everything together with a whisk if necessary.
For an extra touch of magic, sprinkle the process with your beautiful thoughts!
​
For a ceremonial serving, use up to 43 grams of cacao per cup.

ANCIENT MAYA RECEIPE
​
cacao, honey, chili pepper, allspice (notes of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg), vanilla and achiote (a red coloring agent). Cacao drinks were made with water and eventually thickened with corn flour.
This recipe was given to Sakara in 2022 in the village of Uaxactun in Guatemala, where one of the only Mayan 'chocolateras' has been discovered to date, in a princely tomb. It comes from analyses carried out on this vase.
