Cinnamon Spiced Chocolate Latte
Cinnamon Spiced Chocolate Latte
One of the major ingredients in this latte is the rose. Rose is associated with the element of Water, the planet Venus and with Libra and Cancer (perfect for a Full Moon). Rose is known for its attraction of love, luck and protection. Almost every part of rose can be used. In food, it can also be used for healing. There is a receptive energy to rose. The romantic aspect pulls on Venus and Libra, while the nurturing energy comes in from Cancer and Water. In Tarot, this energy is blended perfectly through the Empress.
This latte has warming properties: cinnamon and coffee (or rooibos tea). Cinnamon is ruled by the Sun and Mars, Leo and Aries and Fire dominating. Coffee is also Fire energy with attachments to Sagittarius and Aries (read my earlier post about coffee). The cooling and Venusian energy of the Rose and Vanilla comes in to balance. This creates a duality - bringing together the receptive and active to build into manifestation. The cocoa aspect of this latte will tip the scales depending on the kind of cocoa you use. The darker the chocolate or closer to cacao it is, the more Fiery and Earthy. The Lighter it is the more Watery and Earthy. I personally used 80% dark chocolate in mine, lending to the energies of Scorpio and Virgo engaging with a more grounding energy and enhancing prosperity and love.
This latte has the perfect activation of passive and active energy. Drink this to feel more in balance and enhance your sense of self-love and understanding. The rose and vanilla will open your heart, while the cinnamon and coffee will boost passion and decrease doubt. The cocoa will add in grounding and amplify the abundance of the cinnamon. Set your intentions while whisking this together and take a minute to sip this coffee creation. Enjoy!
