Pacific Cacao
John is a proud supporter of The Cacao Ambassador and their vision. Their connection to the farmers and how they support locally owned Pacific businesses. He also loves that cacao is from the Pacific Islands, so it is a local medicine to New Zealand.
Purchase cacao
So how do I make it?
A serving is around 30g.
I'd start from 25g and see how you find that first, you can always add more.
For reference, 30g is a “ceremonial” dose.
You can either use good quality water, a nut/oat/coconut milk, or a mix of both.
1/2 - 3/4 fill the mug you are going to drink from then pour that into a pot to get the quantity of liquid correct (about 150/180ml but it depends on how thick you like it).
Allow the liquid to come to a simmer.
Add the cacao, and stir until it comes to a gentle boil which will allow it to thicken.
You can sweeten it with either honey, sugar, coconut sugar or maple syrup.
