Favorite ways with Mumā Cacao
First off let me tell you there are no rules, yes there are guidelines but Mumā cacao wants you to enjoy her deliciousness however it speaks to you. Whether that's a daily ceremonial drink, added to your smoothie, melted into you porridge or grated over your spaghetti bolognaise.
So what are the guidelines? For the best benefits of all the goodness in Mumā cacao if you require sweetener try it with honey, coconut sugar, date syrup etc (we don't recommend you use white sugar). Also, if you like your cacao with milk try to use plant milks ie: oat, almond, coconut rather than cows milk.
WHY? They reduce the benefits of the delicious natural chemicals found in Mumā Cacao, but the choice is yours.
Foundation recipe
Take 20 - 30 grams of Cosmic Mumā cacao or one ready made portion from the crafted range, add to a pot with enough water for your mug (roughly 200 - 250 mLs), add sweetener if required and a small pinch of salt (rock or Himalayan) optional. Slowly bring to the boil ~ do not over heat, a gentle simmer is enough to start getting the velvety goodness flowing. Be sure to whisk or stir throughout. Remove from heat and pour into your favourite mug adding plant milk if required.
I sometimes like to make her in my blender with hot water from the jug instead of stovetop, this will give you a light fluffy drink with all the same goodness.
**You can set intention as you are brewing or while sitting and sipping. Mumā cacao helps us to connect to our higher consciousness so this is a great way to be mindful of our intentions and what you are calling into or letting go of in your life.
