Preparation of the Blue Lotus Cocoa Recipe
RECIPE FOR 1 CUP

*(If you have little experience with cocoa, use less to begin with.) - ½ cup plant milk (I recommend oat milk)

- A pinch of salt
PREPARATION:
- First heat the water (125-175ml) to about 80 degrees and add the blue lotus.
- Let the blue lotus steep for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Use the warmed blue lotus water in the next steps and mix it with the cocoa and optionally a plant milk.
- If you have a cocoa block, chop your portion with a large knife.
- Fill your cup (250 – 350ml) half with Blue Lotus water and half with plant milk. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat on a low heat.
- Add the raw cacao, sweetener and spices.
- Stir or froth the cocoa to dissolve the cocoa.
- Taste and see if you want more sugar or spices.
