Hot cacao with Achill Island Sea Salt

Looking hot drink that gives you an energy boost but with out the caffeine jitters? The you have to try a hot cacao! Our favourite brand is Nibbed Cacao, made in Co. Galway and we love to finish it with a pinch of Achill island sea salt! And if you are in Achill in the summer you can try it out in our Salt Dock at the Achill Island Sea Salt Visitor centre! If you have a home coffee machine with a steam want, we find it easiest to make it with that, but if not we have some other directions from Nibbed Cacao.
