Questions
What is drinking cacao?
Drinking cacao is the whole cacao bean made into a solid paste, with the cocoa butter kept in. You melt it into hot water or milk and whisk. Ours is one ingredient: cacao from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia, hand harvested and hand processed. Nothing added, nothing removed.
What is the difference between cacao and hot chocolate?
Most hot chocolate is cocoa powder mixed with sugar, and the cocoa butter has been pressed out of the powder. Drinking cacao keeps the whole bean, cocoa butter and all, so it drinks thicker and rounder, and you decide whether to sweeten it. Read more in cacao powder vs whole bean.
How do I make it?
Heat 300 to 400ml of water or milk until hot but not boiling, add one stick, whisk for a minute until smooth. Full method: how to make drinking cacao.
