Please reset your caffeine tolerance before you begin
Around 80% of the world population consumes caffeine. You need to make sure that you don't have any caffeine tolerance at all to experience the low caffeine quantity found in chocolate. Also, it's possible that caffeine is cross-tolerant with other Adenosine receptor antagonists found in cocoa like theophylline, and theobromine. It may take 4-8 weeks of caffeine abstinence to reset tolerance in regular users.[1]
Ingredients
For everyday use, I recommend a light dose when you wake up, and another light dose in the middle of the day. To save you some time, see the common dosage to make a batch for two light doses.
For cocoa ceremonies, go for a single dose of 20-40 grams of cocoa.
| Level | Cocoa powder per 65 kg body weight |
Other ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Threshold | 5 grams, or 1 tbsp | 1 tsp sugar. 200 mL milk |
| Light | 10 grams, or 2 tbsp | 1 tbsp sugar. 200 mL milk |
| Common | 20 grams, or 4 tbsp | 2 tbsp sugar. 200 mL milk |
| Strong | 30 grams, or 6 tbsp | 3 tbsp sugar. 200 mL milk. |
| Heavy | 40 grams, or 8 tbsp | 4 tbsp sugar. 200 mL milk |
Procedures
- Use a fine strainer to get rid of large particles from the spices, this is for example common with cinnamon. This is an important step because they will not be ground in the blender.
- Do not heat the milk, as it will possibly destroy sensitive compounds in the cocoa powder.
- Put the milk in the blender/shaker
- Add the rest of the ingredients
- Mix for one minute in a blender, or shake vigorously for a minute in a shaker — you cannot beat a blender when it comes to smoothness, but a shaker is definitely your friend when you are on the go.
All the best! — David Hedlund
