If you are giving a ceremony, you can gently warm the cocoa over the fire, stirring occasionally, and serve it when everyone is ready. Always keep the cocoa on low and never let it boil, as this will alter its molecular structure and nutrient absorption. Try it unsweetened for a deeper, more potent draw. The bitter cacao is good for us. You can give your guests the option to try it first without maple syrup. After that, everyone can add their own amount of maple syrup.
