Coconut Cacao Latte

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is a season of inward focus—one that favors warmth, depth, and nourishment that settles rather than scatters. Dark foods and gentle warming ingredients are often used this time of year to support balance, helping the body stay steady as temperatures drop and energy turns inward. This cacao recipe leans into that logic: rich, grounding, and deeply nourishing, it’s a simple ritual when you want something cozy that also does real work for the body.
