If you’re looking for a warm, indulgent drink that’s packed with health benefits, cacao tea made with Cacao Delight is the perfect choice. This simple recipe combines the natural richness of cacao with aromatic spices, creating a soothing tea that’s rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and mood-boosting compounds. Let’s get brewing!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of Cacao Delight (or substitute with raw cacao nibs)
1–2 cups of filtered water
Optional spices for extra flavor: Cinnamon stick, star anise, or a pinch of nutmeg
Sweetener of choice (like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar)
Instructions:
Heat the Water:
Start by bringing 1–2 cups of filtered water to a gentle simmer in a small pot or saucepan. As an alternative, replace water for ‘milk’ of choice!
Add Cacao Delight:
Once the water reaches a low simmer, add 1 tablespoon of Cacao Delight to the pot. For a deeper flavor, you can add a bit more. If you’re adding spices, like a cinnamon stick or star anise, toss them in now.
Simmer the Tea:
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help release the rich chocolatey flavors and health-boosting properties of the cacao.
Strain and Sweeten:
After simmering, strain the cacao tea into a mug. Add your preferred sweetener to taste – honey, maple syrup, or a pinch of coconut sugar complement the cacao perfectly.
Enjoy:
Sip your warm cacao tea slowly, allowing the natural flavors and richness to shine. This brew is perfect for relaxing mornings, afternoon pick-me-ups, or cozy evenings.
