Ingredients

• 1 beef foot (cut into 2–3 pieces)

• 1 cinnamon stick

• 4–5 cups water

• 1–2 tbsp honey (to taste)

• 1–2 tbsp cacao powder (to taste)

Instructions

1. Prep the beef foot:
   – Rinse under cold water.
   – If not pre-cut, ask your butcher to cut the beef foot into 2–3 chunks for easier cooking.

2. Pressure cook:
   – Add the beef foot, cinnamon stick, and water to your pressure cooker or Instant Pot.
   – Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 90 minutes.
   – Let the pressure release naturally (about 20–30 minutes).

3. Remove bones and cinnamon:
   – Carefully open the lid.
   – Remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
   – Use tongs to remove the beef bones, leaving the liquid and soft tissue in the pot.

4. Blend:
   – Transfer the cooked liquid and soft tissue to a blender.
   – Add honey and cacao powder to taste.
   – Blend until smooth.

5. Serve:
   – Serve warm for a rich, nourishing cacao drink.
   – Or chill in the fridge — it will set like Jell-O thanks to the natural collagen.

Tips

• The cinnamon adds flavor but can be left out if preferred.

• Adjust honey and cacao to your taste — start small and build up.

• This blend is packed with collagen and great for skin, joints, and gut health.

• Store in the fridge up to 4 days. It thickens when cold — reheat or enjoy as a gelatin-style snack.
