RITUAL TOOLS

Prepare it the traditional way

Slow down, stir with intention.

Our hand-carved molinillo is the traditional whisk used across Latin America to froth cacao. Rolling it between your palms turns making your cacao into part of the ritual.

  1. 1Gently melt your cacao in warm (not boiling) water or plant milk.
  2. 2Roll the molinillo between your palms until the cacao is smooth and frothy.
  3. 3Pour, set your intention, and sip slowly.
