Consumption advice
A tablespoon in a cup of warm almond milk with a pinch of cinnamon makes a powerful hot chocolate that lifts your mood without a single gram of sugar.
Best preparation methods
Don’t boil it hard; add the cacao after warming the milk to protect the heat-sensitive flavanols, and use pure stevia if you want it sweeter.
