Notes from the Apothecary
Choose your milk wisely.
The milk defines the taste. Taste it on its own first - if you enjoy it plain, you'll love your cacao even more.
We recommend plant-based milk for better mineral absorption and a cleaner flavor.
Temperature care - but no stress.
Keep it around 60-70 °C to preserve minerals. Once it nearly boils, lower to level 3 and add cacao after a few minutes. Even if it reaches 80-90 °C or higher, it remains beneficial and rich - only slightly less minerals.
Every cacao made with care is still magical.
Sweetener is personal.
At CC A F. cacao apothecary firm, we use date syrup for its minerals and natural calming effect on the nervous system. Still, you can use unrefined brown sugar or any natural sweetener you prefer.
Experiment freely.
