Directions: Cacao Adaptogen Blend

Take one cacao adaptogen nug and dissolve in 250 ml of hot water, or milk of choice. Sweeten with raw honey, if desired.

*Please note: The liquid you use should be hot enough to allow the nug to dissolve slowly - you'll need to keep stirring. Our advice is to add the nug to a pan with cold milk and heat until dissolved. Add some honey to the pan during the heating process. The compounds won't be denatured as long as you don't overheat, or heat for an extended period. 

Alternatively, you can add a small amount of boiling water from the kettle to a cup. Then add the nug. Allow to soften, and stir while you heat some milk in a pan. At this point, you can also stir in the honey (if desired). Once the milk is heated sufficiently (but not boiled), add enough to just cover the nug and continue to stir. Add the rest of the milk and stir until dissolved.

The nug is made from 100% cacao paste, and so isn't going to dissolve in the same way as a highly processed cocoa. It's important to understand - there is a big difference in quality between 100% cacao paste and cocoa powder!
