Measure out 2 to 3 teaspoons of cacao husks or nibs, or 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder, per cup (8oz.) of water.
Bring the water to a near boil and pour it over the cacao in a teapot or French press, or even in a large metal pot.
Allow the tea to steep for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your desired strength and flavor.
Once the tea has reached your desired strength, strain it into a cup and discard the cacao blend. If you choose to add sweeteners and milk or dairy alternative, do so now, stirring until well combined.
