Ingredients
100% pure ceremonial raw Arriba "Nacional" cacao paste from Ecuador.
Usage
Cacao paste can be crumbled and eaten, incorporated into dishes, or melted (to prevent burning, it’s best to melt it in a double boiler or at a low temperature in a pan). Before the ceremony, begin by preparing the space: ensure the area is tidy, quiet, and free of distractions. You may also choose to clear the space with the smoke of white sage or palo santo.
2. Formulating intentions: Before using the cacao paste, take a moment to reflect and set your intentions for the ceremony. This may include personal healing, spiritual development, or seeking answers to life’s questions.
3. Preparing the cacao drink:
Start by gently heating water or plant-based milk in a saucepan. Then add the cacao paste, adjusting the amount based on your desired strength and individual dosage.
• Stir the cacao paste into the warm water or plant-based milk until it is completely dissolved. Add natural sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup to taste, along with spices such as chili, cinnamon, or vanilla.
Recommended Dosage The amount used for ceremonial purposes varies based on individual tolerance, prior experience with cacao, and the intensity sought for the experience. Below is a general guideline for the ceremonial dosage of 100% cacao paste:
• Beginners: 20–25 grams
• Intermediate: 25–40 grams
• Experienced: 40–50 grams
Cacao ceremonies offer a profound opportunity to connect with your inner self and the spiritual realm. When cacao paste is used with respect and clear intentions, it facilitates the creation of a profound experience.
