The Morning Mochachino
Ok, we normally don’t recommend mixing coffee and Cacao…
But on occasion, we know we have coffee-lovers amidst us!
So, here you go, a quick and easy combo of your two favorite
all-day-energy-producing Gifts of the Gods!
Careful though, this one might blast you out of the water!
INGREDIENTS
• 1oz. Holy Wow Cacao
• Your chosen dose of Coffee
• 8 – 10oz. of Water
• ⅛ tsp. Turmeric
• 1 tbsp. Ghee or Coconut Oil
*Organic is best.
Sweeten the Pot! ( to taste )
• agave
• honey
• maple syrup
• monk fruit
• cane sugar
• stevia
PREPARATION
…for one 12 oz. cup of Ceremonial strength Holy Wow…
Prep yo self: Sit for a moment, even just 30 seconds, to recognize the many blessings in your life and the one in which you are about to partake in.
1. Shave off 1 oz. of cacao with knife. If you don’t have a scale, this will be roughly the size of a quarter/Euro/Quetzal in width and half that in height. Eventually you’ll learn to eyeball it and get it to the consistency and strength you prefer.
2. Make your coffee via French press, drip or chosen method – this will now replace the 8-10oz. of water you’d normally make your cacao with.
3. Add Cacao, Coffee, and any other ingredients to blender. Blend until a frothy-headed God forms. If not using a blender, you can add everything straight to the pot.
4. Simmer in a small pot on the stove to bring in the heat- just before boiling. The cacao will melt and mix in even more in this step, as will your other ingredients. Stir some more for good measure.
Finally, Sit in Ceremony…
• Sit in prayer and gratitude
• Make it a meditation and watch what comes up….
• Ask what you can create together with the Cacao espiritu
• Ask what you can give her as much as what she can give you
• Ask what the world needs and how you can serve
• Ask what may serve in the highest way for you to let go of or welcome in
• Ask how to love yourself and others more
• Ask for peace in your heart and harmony in your world
• Whatever it is, make it a ceremony… even if it’s only 30 seconds long.
• Consider breathing intentions, prayers &/or cosmic jokes into your cup.
• Give some thanks & enjoy.
NOTES
• For a gentle wake-me-up-cup or simple daily guidance, use 1/2 to 1oz of cacao.
• Water-to-cacao ratio can be changed depending how thick you prefer it. We say 10-12 oz of water is a happy medium between pudding & milk.
• Sugar can over-power the subtle cacao taste, Begin with less & add as needed.
• Fats/Oils/Butters – If you got The Holy Wow, nothing in this block of 100% PURE cacao has been subtracted or added, so it still has a whole-lotta wonderful cacao butter in it already, and so this ingredient is totally not needed – However, if you feel called, you may still add more! These healthy fats help our beautiful bodies absorb the cacao. Find your balance AND don’t be afraid to add too much- it’s a great modifier of taste as well.
• Blender/Nutribullet – not necessary, but will be helpful in getting emulsification happening, where the oils and water really mix… Making your cup of heart-opening goodness ever more frothy, heady, and tasty!
Thanks for allowing us to pay forward to you the gracious guidance we’ve received from so many along our path.
ENJOY!
