How do I make a hot cacao drink?

This is very much up to you. We have a recipe here, and we would encourage you to experiment with what you like.

Some people love almond, coconut or soy milk. We love oat as it's naturally sweet. Some people love it with no milk, just water.

You can add spices like cinnamon, ground cardamom, chilli, ginger, or vanilla extract. Or food-grade essential oils like lavender, rose or wild orange (be very careful to only use a drop as they are super strong!).

And lastly, you can add sweetener if you like. Try maple syrup, honey, date syrup or coconut sugar. But we do suggest only a tiny bit of sweetener :)

Xmas Gift

My daughter has asked for the pure cacao block for Christmas so cannot comment on product yet as haven’t opened it. Customer Service was great though as I didn’t know when to order product for freshness so emailed Ito ask and got a reply within 24 hours which was very helpful. Would definitely use this shop again 👍🏻
