Heart-Opening Drinking Chocolate

Recipe
Jun 16, 2025
 

Yield: 1 serving

This traditional drinking chocolate does not need milk to froth because the fat from the bean creates the traditional froth at the top of the mug. The main ingredient, cacao paste, contains a higher level of heart-healthy, mood-boosting compounds than found in dark chocolate. For 100 percent pure cacao-bean paste, look for ceremonial-grade cacao, which can be found online or in health food stores.

⅛ to ¼ cup cacao paste

Dash of cinnamon

Dash of cayenne pepper or Cobanero chili pepper

Sprinkle of sea salt

Sweetener to taste (optional)

Add all ingredients in a 12-ounce mug. Add just enough hot water (almost boiling) to cover the cacao. Whisk by hand or with a frother. Once blended, pour additional hot water to fill the cup. Sip slowly with eyes closed and enjoy.
