Cacao meets the sacred flower
What if your daily drink could be a ritual? Something you make slowly, hold in both hands, and sip while the world waits.
Meet the Blue Lotus Cacao Elixir: rich ceremonial-grade cacao with Blue Lotus, the flower once treasured in ancient Egypt. Make it with a cup of Euphoria Blend tea or a few drops of Euphoria Infused Essence.
Whether you're journaling, creating, or simply slowing down, this is the Blue Lotus cacao recipe you didn't know you needed.
Recipe: Blue Lotus Cacao Elixir
Ingredients (serves 1)
- 1 tbsp ceremonial cacao powder (we love Maretai Organics)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (MCT oil works well)
- 1 tsp honey or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 cup freshly brewed Euphoria Blend tea (1 heaped tbsp steeped in water at about 80°C for 3 to 5 minutes), or 1/2 cup hot water and 10 to 20 drops of Euphoria Infused Essence
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (Cocobella Smoothie Starter is a dream)
- A big pinch of Celtic sea salt
Optional add-ons
- A splash of rose water
- A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
- A spoon of coconut cream on top
Method
- In a small saucepan, warm the tea (or hot water), cacao and coconut oil together. Whisk until silky smooth.
- Add your milk and warm gently. Don't let it boil.
- Take it off the heat and stir in your sweetener, salt and, if you're using it, the essence.
- Pour into your favourite mug. Breathe. Sip slowly. Set an intention.
Our Infused Essence is made with triple-distilled spirit of wine, so it contains alcohol (60%). A few drops in a full glass leaves only a trace, but if you avoid alcohol completely, use a cup of cooled Euphoria Blend tea instead.
Your new favourite ritual
This cacao isn't about rushing. It's about the few minutes you give yourself: the warmth of the mug, the scent of cacao and flowers, a quiet start or a soft end to the day.
FAQs
Can I make it iced?
Yes. Make it as usual, let it cool a little, then pour over ice or blend. Coconut cream on top makes it a treat.
When's the best time to drink it?
Whenever you want a moment for yourself: a morning ritual, after yoga, or a slow evening in.
Tea or essence?
Tea is the more traditional, slower ritual and keeps it alcohol free. The essence is quicker: a few drops and you're done.
Blue Lotus is for adults. We recommend avoiding it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and checking with your healthcare provider first if you have a medical condition or take any medication.
