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. In addition, it's possible that caffeine is cross-tolerant with other adenosine receptor antagonists found in cocoa like theophylline, and theobromine. Also, caffeine is metabolized in the liver into three primary metabolites: paraxanthine (84%), theobromine (12%), and theophylline (4%).

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. 100 mL milk
Light 10 grams, or 2 tbsp 1 tbsp sugar. 200 mL milk
Common 20 grams, or 4 tbsp 2 tbsp sugar. 300 mL milk
Strong 30 grams, or 6 tbsp 3 tbsp sugar. 400 mL milk.
Heavy 40 grams, or 8 tbsp 4 tbsp sugar. 500 mL milk

Low-carb dark chocolate

Comparison of sugar content in typical chocolate milk versus low-carb dark chocolate milk
Homemade dark chocolate milk, vegan, low-carb 1 cup (244 g) chocolate-flavored drink,
whey and milk based[2]
2 tbsp (10.8 g) unsweetened cocoa[3] 1 cup (244 g) unsweetened soy milk[4] 1 tsp (2.6 g) cinnamon, ground[5][lower-alpha 1]
Sugars 0.19 g 1.37 g 0.056 g 21.2 g
Total: 1.6 g

Procedures

  1. 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.
  2. Do not heat the milk, as it will possibly destroy sensitive compounds in the cocoa powder.
  3. Put the milk in the blender/shaker
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients
  5. 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
