Ceremonial Cacao Preparation Guide

Preparing Your Koracao

Making your cup of Koracao is simple, playful, and deeply personal. There’s no single “right” way — part of the joy is experimenting until you discover the method that feels best for you.

Suggested Serving Amounts

  • Morning focus & creativity: 2–3 tablespoons (20–25g)

  • Evening calm & relaxation: 2–3 tablespoons (20–25g)

  • Ceremonial dose: 3 heaping tablespoons (40–50g)

Recipe Ideas

Recipe 1 — Balanced & Smooth

  • 100 ml very hot water (about 70°C if you want to be exact)

  • 100 ml of creamy plant milk (oat milk is our favorite)

Recipe 2 — Comforting & Decadent

  • 200 ml of your milk of choice

    • For dairy: try lactose-free for a gentler cup

    • For plant-based: oat milk makes it silky and sweet

  • 200 ml = about one generous mug

Optional additions:

  • Natural sweeteners like honey or coconut sugar (1–2 tsp)

  • Spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cayenne, ginger, nutmeg, or a pinch of sea salt

Preparation Methods

Method 1 — Stove Ritual

  1. Place your cacao, liquid, and any spices into a small saucepan. (Tip: chop large chunks of cacao into smaller pieces first.)

  2. Warm gently on medium heat, stirring often until the cacao is fully melted. Avoid aggressive boiling to protect its delicate compounds.
    Pro tip: Melt the cacao with just a splash of liquid first to create a paste, then add the rest for a smoother blend.

  3. Once combined, whisk or froth with a hand blender for extra creaminess.

Method 2 — Blend to Bliss

  1. Add cacao and liquid directly to a blender. Blend briefly to break down the cacao.

  2. Pour into a saucepan and heat on medium until melted and steaming, stirring consistently.

  3. Return to the blender for a final froth, then enjoy. (Reheat gently if needed.)

Your cup of Koracao can be as simple or as creative as you wish. Trust your taste, listen to your body, and let the ritual guide you.
