There are a few ways to brew cacao, and typically it brews like coffee or tea. We have found that like tea, when allowed to steep for longer it brings out more flavor. Cacao is not as instant as coffee. Remember you can brew your grounds 2-3 times more depending on your liking to the strength of the brew. 

The standard is 2 tbsp of Teo to every 8 oz of water (1c). For detailed instructions, see below:
