Aphrodisiac Infused Cherry Garnish Recipe

Clavo-huasca Soaked Cherries

I pre-soak my pitted organic cherries in a beautiful Brazilian heart chakra opening aphrodisiac bark called Clavo Huasca which I pre-infuse into a tasty elixir and also offer for sale. I love to leave the cherries soaking for 1 week or more and store them in the fridge.

They make a potent sexy addition to the hot chocolate and once soaked, the cherries have just the right amount of alcohol in them to give the hot chocolate a little boost, but not be overpowering! The effects of the Clavo-huasca aphrodisiac are much stronger than the effect of the alcohol. Plus the Clavo Huasca aphrodisiac lasts for approximately 5 hours, while the alcohol usually wears off within an hour or less, depending on one's tolerance.
