This drink is created in two parts. First, create a tea. You can either make a sun tea (soak the herbs in the sun, in a glass
container with pure water, for 24 hours) or heat pure water (do not boil) with the herbs in it for 20 minutes.
Ingredients to make 1.5 liters of tea
8 tablespoons of pau d'arco (South American herb a.k.a. lapacho; use dried powder or shavings)
3 tablespoons of cat's claw (South American herb; use dried powder or shavings)
1 raw vanilla bean (diced)
1 handful of wolfberries (dried raisin-like fruit)
Now prepare the base. The base ingredients should be combined in a blender.
Ingredients for the base
20 cacao beans (preferably peeled; yes, this is raw chocolate)
10 raw cashews
3-5 tablespoons of maca (powdered root from Peru)
3-5 tablespoons of Agave cactus nectar (raw sweetener, similar to honey)
3 tablespoons of hempseed oil
3-5 tablespoons of coconut oil/butter
2-3 pinches of sea salt (preferably Celtic sea-salt)
2-3 sprinkles of cinnamon
Strain away the herbs and pour the warm tea into the base. Once this has been mixed, blend until smooth. You should have a foamy, warm chocolate drink that will explode every taste sensation!
