Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 300 ml (1,5 cup) water
  • 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp red hot paprika powder
  • 1 tsp green stevia leaf powder optional
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the water in a deep saucepan. Add coconut oil, Ceylon cinnamon, hot paprika powder and stevia leaf powder. Bring this to a boil. Set it aside and let it cool down for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture.
  • Now place raw cacao powder in a ceramic cup and cover it with just a small amount of this spice-infused water. Stir well using a wooden or ceramic spoon. (avoid using a metal spoon) Now add the rest of the liquid and stir well. 
  • You can enjoy this beverage hot or cold, but always have it freshly prepared. I strongly advise to have it right after your meal, not in between the meals.
