How to use it
Melt 23 g into 6–8 oz of hot, not boiling, water and whisk for a full thirty seconds. The ground spices settle faster than plain cacao does, so whisk again halfway down the cup.
If you are new to cayenne in a drink, start at two thirds of a serving. A small pinch of salt makes the cinnamon read sweeter without adding sugar, and it takes extremely well to oat milk.

✨ Temple Tip
Make this the cup you drink standing up. It is built for the ten minutes before you leave the house, not for a long sit — and it is the one cacao in the range that genuinely improves on a gray day.
Frequently asked questions
How hot is it?
Warming rather than fiery. The cayenne sits behind the cinnamon and ginger and builds gently; most people find a full serving comfortable.
Is there sugar in it?
No. The sweetness people notice comes from the cinnamon, not from added sugar.
Can I make it iced?
Melt it in a small amount of hot water first so it emulsifies, then pour it over ice. Added straight to cold liquid it will not dissolve.
Does it contain caffeine?
Cacao contains theobromine and a small amount of naturally occurring caffeine, so it is not caffeine-free.
How do I store it?
Cool, dark, dry and sealed. Cacao picks up other smells quickly, so keep it away from strong spices.
