Cacao Calm
ADAPTOGENIC HOT COCOA
A collaboration with Dancing Fern Folk Apothecary for Wild Oaks Apothecary.
This adaptogenic hot cocoa was created to honor the traditions of sipping chocolate that have existed for thousands of years. It’s a tradition that invites us to slow down and enjoy a warm beverage alone or with loved ones.
This is our take on a hot cocoa, with added adaptogens to help soothe your body and allow it to better adapt to the stressors found in life.
This powder comes in an amber jar and has 2.5 ounces of drink mix in it, which is enough for between 18-23 servings depending on how strong you like your hot cocoa.
The mixture contains cocoa, ashwagandha, chaga, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and cardamom. It tastes chocolatey and creamy with a hint of "something more."
It comes unsweetened, so we recommend adding 2 tsp drink mix to 8ounces liquid of choice (raw milk!) along with 1-2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (I love raw sugar, Nicole loves maple syrup!) for a cozy drink.
