You take 1 square of ourspure cocoa & mix it in

• 100ml water = strong (likeCafe Creme)
• 250ml water = light (like filter coffee)
• Put both in the shaker.
• Turn off the shaker.
• Shake vigorously.
• Finished.

You should take this into account when shaking the cocoa in a thermos flask.

Shake the shaker vigorously like a protein shaker so that the cocoa can completely dissolve and become frothy.

60C - 70C is the optimal water temperature for the aroma of your cocoa.s.

You don't have a temperature display on your kettle No problem! Just add 1/3 cold water or plant milk to 2/3 boiling water - that's about right..

How much is 250ml Der shaker should be about half full.

Other ingredients in cocoa

You can experiment with a pinch of extra salt (quality salt!). We do add salt to our bars, but salt tolerances are known to vary. Don't use normal iodized salt, it tastes terrible. You should use sea salt or Himalayan salt.

Mix plant milk with your cocoa

You can of course add (plant) milk, sugar, honey or spices.

 Ketogenic / Low Carb / "Bulletproof" Variant: Simply add a teaspoon of coconut fat or MCT oil to the cocoa.

Be careful when mixing hot things in the blender. The air in the blender expands quickly as it heats up. If you've got a really tightly sealed, high-powered blender like we do, the lid will fly off. We've had to repaint our kitchen a few times, so believe us.

Therefore: Close the mixer & shake it carefully with the hot water until all the hot air has escaped. Then pulse carefully at the beginning. When the air stops expanding, go full throttle.
