How do I make it?

There are many ways to make it and each way will create a new experience. Our favourite way is on the stove top in a pot but when we’re short on time, a handheld milk frother is brilliant or putting all ingredients into a smoothie maker. See below for details on each option, our favourite milks and additives for the best cacao.

Stove Top

Place desired amount into pot with milk of choice or water

Stir continuously on medium heat, ensuring to turn it down if it gets too hot, nobody wants burnt cacao!

Once the cacao has almost completely dissolved, turn off the heat and let it rest for up to 5 minutes - use this time to get ready for work, journal, clean your room, stretch etc.

After 5 minutes, turn the heat back on to medium, stir and allow the rest of the cacao to dissolve as you heat it to your desired temperature.

Pour into your favourite cup and elevate your experience!

If you have a handheld milk frother, this can be used at the end of the reheating to ensure all of the cacao is dissolved and of course, if you’re short on time, use it at any point in the process once the milk is at desired temperature. There’s no rules to this, it is pure creation based on your requirements.

All other options

Simply heat either milk or hot water, add your desired amount of cacao (see below for details on recommended amounts) and either blend in a smoothie maker or use your milk frother to dissolve the cacao completely.

Additives to elevate

We add in coconut oil, maple syrup or sweetener of choice, if using a smoothie blender we add in a fresh medjool date (YUM). Strawberries cut up and added into the cacao is the BEST. We have tried adding orange oil, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, chai spice - there are no limits and we recommend experimenting.

Can I have too much?

No and yes - this is a great question and depends on many elements. Overall, no you cannot have too much BUT If you are new to cacao and medicinal mushrooms we recommend the following guide for our products.

Week 1

Start with 1-2 teaspoons of any of our products but ESPECIALLY of Focus Fuel - this one packs some serious energy and although it is SUPER beneficial for your health and well-being, it is to be respected and introduced with ease

Week 2 -3

If all is going well, increase to 1 tablespoon - if you are only using Focus Fuel, make it a smaller, level tablespoon - remember, respect the medicine of this one

Week 4 & beyond!

If you are only having Earth Blend, you can add in another tablespoon.

If you are using Focus Fuel or Soothe & Restore, we recommend only ever having 1 tablespoon of each of these products due to the medicinal mushrooms, they are powerful!

If you are seeking a thicker drink or some extra energy, combine 1 tablespoon of Earth Blend with 1 tablespoon of either Soothe & Restore or Focus Fuel

Our favourite combo is 1 tablespoon of Earth Blend with 1/2 tablespoon each of Sooth & Restore and Focus Fuel

Please note - if you are feeling amazing from 1-2 teaspoons and don’t feel the need to add more, don’t. This is a guide only and we advise that you connect in with what feels right for your body as we are all different, there is no right or wrong.

How many serves in a packet?

Well, as you may now understand, this is a tough one to answer as everyone is going to use different serving sizes. In a 400g bag, servings range from over 40 to 23 - dependent on where you’re at with your cacao journey. For those that are using up to 2 tablespoons per serve, we recommend having Earth Blend as a base in order to get the most out of your medicinal mushroom products.

Is it powder?

No! Our products are all handmade from Organic Peruvian Ceremonial Cacao Powder, Organic Peruvian Cacao Butter and Organic Medicinal Mushrooms which we combine using our unique Bain - Marie techniques. Our cacao paste is then left to set naturally before we grind it into the perfect size shavings to ensure an easeful melt for you. It is not a powder at all, it is a ceremonial cacao that can be melted for drinking, chocolate creation or used in cooking. It’s basically a bag of the most delicious organic, ceremonial grade chocolate packed with medicinal mushrooms and goodness.

Will the mushrooms make me hallucinate?

We use organic medicinal mushrooms - they are NOT psilocybin (magic) and will not give you any psychedelic experiences. They do offer a long list of incredibly powerful benefits and throughout our journey with them we have had noticeable and immediate shifts in concentration, vision, energy, muscle repair, emotional and nervous system regulation, gut health plus so much more. You will not hallucinate but you will have an elevated experience in many different ways.
