As a note: I recently learned from the Mayans of Guatemala that for ceremonies you NEVER use any spices or sweetners. Just pure Cacao. Cinamon and other things are ok for non ceremonial drinks. The only other mix they would use is Pataxte but that is hard to find anywhere. Also important is to use a ceramic pot and nothing that is plastic for serving or mixing. A ceramic knife is also preferable as to not cut the energy
Wrong. Cacao was often mixed with chilies to add on the bitterness, Maize meal to appeal to the maize god. Children would add honey for sweetness and the adult if possible would spike cacao with balche from the balche tree which already made with honey.
@@mikerennie6541 Ancient Maya may have spiced it but the claim that it was also originally sweetened is highly questionable, it was originally a sacred drink meant to be bitter. But with time it became a common place drink amongst all social classes. The Mayan empire lasted a long time and had two separate collapses, as well as their own hedonistic period matching Rome's. So there's no doubt there was enough time for the drink to evolve/become adulterated. Whatever the case, presently in Guatemala many Maya currently *do not* spice or sweeten it.
The video shows water, the text says water and then milk. I'm confused. Is one more traditional than the other or does it not matter? Same with sweeteners, I was told it is not ok to put honey eg in, here it's ok. Which form is correct? Thanks
You can use pure water or plant based milks. Traditionally the brew is just water and cacao but if you want creamier or sweetened then you can add some raw, natural sugar or honey. When we serve in our retreats in Peru we only use water and cacao, no sweeteners or milks. Depends how authentic you want to create it vs your preferences to creaminess and bitterness.
@@freespiritwithnature4384 That's interesting...I worked with cacao powder drinks for two weeks and got up to 6 ounces cacao powder per day, and now I'm about to do urine retention enemas to regenerate my teeth via stem cell therapy.
@Julia No, in fact I've heard that cacao is supposed to be good for teeth. My teeth are messed up from many things...receeding gums, acid abuse via orange juice, and half a root canal done eventually leading to a severe cavity/major breakage.
@Julia It's like perfect timing, because Dr. William Li says that cacao doubles stem cells, and urine retention enema therapy is based on regenerating my teeth through stem cell function...AMAZING!
@Julia Yeah, he says after one month of having two tbsp a day stem cells and blood flow are doubled. Have you noticed that's become very difficult to find any Andrew Norton Webber urine therapy/stem cell material on the internet at this point? Like what gives? Even the commmet right here I repsonded to(Free Spirit To Nature) isn't showing in the comment thread. I did two urine enemas yesterday, and have many more scheduled. The last time I had to stop because my legs started hurting(I'm heavy metal toxic, and it builds up in the legs), but since then I learned to get it to back off by doing lymphatic fluid movement massage.
@@CsabaVas82 There is talk around conductivity and reactiveness/oxidation of the alkalinity/acid in foods and metal. This is why we use ceramic and wooden utensils when working with food. For example: If you cut an organic apple with a metal knife it will start to decay and turn brown fast, whereas a ceramic knife it won't as much. The other is the (spiritual/energetic) aspect then most humans do not see with their physical eyes but can see with their spiritual eye/senses that it is best to refrain from metal when working with food, especially these types of sacred foods cause it interferes with the energy and full healing potential of the food.
@@CsabaVas82 Well 'spiritual mambo-jumbo' to the person with closed mind is common response. The eyes only see what the mind is prepared to comprehend. Of course if you grew up in the artificial world, city, fancy lights, chemical foods, your spiritual-sight and energy-centered will be damaged and closed so you simply cannot see the energetic side of things. Physical reality is not really solid its spirit/consciousness that creates it and quantum physics proves this.
Definitely not, the heat is needed to melt the fat which helps absorb all the brain enhancing chemicals. Traditionally cacao was always drunk in hot water for this reason. We have analysed cacao in hot drinks and shown no breakdown of the main 6 classes of bioactives.

@@mikerennie6541 what about turnips or ginger?
@@jikosauce Why on earth would you add that? Turnips are not native to Central America. Same with ginger.

Chilies or Cheyenne were added I've had it many times

Wonderful. Goodbye coffee.
I have bean, will make fard?
I heard kings in Mexico used to drink 40 cups of this stuff a day or something like that a long time ago. How much is safe to drink?

What is a urine enema
Does ceremonial cacao need to contain cacao butter or can it be prepared with just cacao powder?
it needs to be full bean paste and cacao from central or south America, see here - selenohealth.com/blogs/learn-about-cacao/what-is-ceremonial-cacao
@@SelenoHealth thank you 💕
Coconut sugar! Thanks 😅❤
Doesn't the metal knife and blending effect the energy of cacao? You can use ceramic knife too :)
What energy are you talking aboput and how does metal destroy it?
@@CsabaVas82 There is talk around conductivity and reactiveness/oxidation of the alkalinity/acid in foods and metal. This is why we use ceramic and wooden utensils when working with food.

Use a jarate
Doesn't hot water destroy most of the nutrients in cacao?
Definitely not, the heat is needed to melt the fat which helps absorb all the brain enhancing chemicals. Traditionally cacao was always drunk in hot water for this reason.

Yes. Heat destroys the flavonoids and the other good stuff that studies find to be helpful.
Google it 👍🏻
Why ceremonial? Which ceremony is it?

It doesn’t say organic on the website??
All our cacao is certified organic
Seems a right faff just for a drink ?? And then all the cleaning up afterwards.
You sound extremely lazy 😂 it’s just ingredients in a blender. Pretty simple
OMG 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍
blending the cacao is a crimeeee
Prⓞм??? ?
Nah
health and sugar stay at different sides of the coin 😂 so lame
