Pumpkin Spice Hot Cacao Drink
A Fall Favorite!
As the weather cools down and fall is upon us, we love having some decadent variations on our daily cacao drink, and this Pumpkin Spice Hot Cacao definitely hits the spot. This drink is easy to make and will warm your body and soul!
Why we love this recipe with our cacao
Our ceremonial cacao is 100% cacao. That means, unlike cocoa powder, it isn't over processed & defatted. It's full of nutrients and the cacao butter is still present, which turns the classic pumpkin spice hot chocolate into a rich delicacy. Using these simple ingredients alongside our cacao makes for a healthy & decadent drink.
