Kitchen Witch Recipe- Orange Cardamom Hot Chocolate [for love magic]

The mundane: I'm a sucker for chocolate and orange combos, so this is a recipe that's right up my alley. Add in cardamon (one of my favorite spices), and just *chef's kiss*. Also, as we start moving into the cooler part of the year, hot chocolate just hits the spot. I know it's more of a winter drink, but give me hot chocolate year-round, and am a very happy witch.

The magical: Chocolate tends to be universally synonymous with love, so having it as the star of this drink adds a big boost of love magic. Cardamon adds a warm sort of energy and helps to enhance love, lust, and sensuality, as well offering a boost of confidence. Orange also is used in love magic, but I really like it for enhancing happiness.

Ingredients

4 cups milk (I prefer whole milk for my hot chocolates, but use whatever you think is best)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or just roughly cut it from a chocolate bar)

Rind of half an orange- use a vegetable peeler and try to get as little of the white bits as possible

10 cardamon pods, cracked

Directions

Add orange peel and cracked cardamon pods to the milk in a saucepan.

Bring it to a boil. Stir often! You don't want it to scald.

Remove the orange peel and cardamon pods.

And your chocolate to the milk. Stir until melted.

Serve as is, or spruce it up. I like adding whipped cream and strips of candied orange peel.

To use this in conjunction with love magic, focus on your intention as you drink it.

Also, while making it, think about what you hope to accomplish. Is this a self-love ritual? Are you sharing it with a partner to enhance existing energies, ignite a little passion, etc? Or maybe you're using it for attracting someone. Whatever the purpose, cater this spell to it. Invoke a love deity to help you. Light red or pink candles. Add rose quartz or carnelian to your kitchen while preparing the hot chocolate.

I made these peaches and cream parfaits for a love spell.

These magical parfaits are designed to strengthen the bond between you and your lover, using the symbolic properties of peaches, honey, cinnamon, and rose water.

What you'll need to make peaches and cream parfaits for a love spell

4 ripe peaches (symbolizing love, longevity, and fertility)

1 cup heavy cream (representing nurturing, love, and protection)

1 tablespoon honey (to sweeten the relationship and promote affection)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for sensuality and warmth)

1 tablespoon rose water (symbol of love, beauty, and romance)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for passion and desire)

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or biscotti (grounding the spell, representing stability)

1 cup heavy cream (to top off with extra sweetness)

1 cup Greek yogurt (for a smooth, creamy texture and healthy element)

Strawberries (to garnish, symbolizing love and sensuality)

Instructions

Set your intentions. Before starting, take a few moments to meditate and visualize the love or relationship you wish to attract or strengthen. As you prepare each ingredient, infuse it with loving intentions, thinking of the outcome you desire.

Slice the peaches into thin wedges while focusing on love and affection blossoming in your life. Visualize the energy of the peaches aligning with your heart’s desires.

In a small bowl, drizzle the peach slices with honey, and sprinkle them with a pinch of cinnamon. Stir gently while repeating an affirmation of love and attraction (e.g., “With the sweetness of honey, love flows my way, bringing warmth and joy to my day.”)

In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract and rose water until soft peaks form. As you whip, visualize the sweetness and tenderness of a loving relationship growing stronger with every movement.

When the cream is ready, taste it and feel the warmth of the vanilla and rose on your tongue, affirming, “Love flows to me easily, filled with sweetness and joy.”

Gently fold the whipped cream into the Greek yogurt until fully combined, creating a smooth and creamy layer representing harmony in your relationship.

In two clear glasses, layer the peach mixture, granola, and cream mixture. Start with a layer of peaches, followed by granola, and then the cream mixture. Repeat until the glasses are full, finishing with a layer of the cream mixture on top.

As you prepare the parfaits, focus on your intentions for the love spell. Visualize the sweetness and affection you wish to cultivate in your relationship. You might say a loving affirmation as you layer the ingredients, like “With each layer, my love grows sweeter and deeper.”

Enjoy the parfaits with your lover, sharing your feelings and intentions. You can serve them during a romantic dinner or a cozy date night.

Additional tip: As you enjoy the parfaits, take a moment to reflect on your relationship and the love you wish to nurture.

Unsolicited Witch Tip 25

Grow angelica in your garden or in a pot for protection around your home.

The best way I've found to divine with a pendulum is to thread a sewing needle with a color of thread that corresponds to your inquiry.

They're super balanced, unlike most necklace charms.

I read it as Clockwise means Yes

Counterclockwise means No

Side to side or up and down means rephrase

Diagonal is maybe

Any other pendulum I've purchased from witchy stores always ends up off balanced, over-priced, broken, or lost rather quickly. I tried adapting this method to a pendulum board, too, but it feels overcomplicated.

I learned this from my paternal grandmother, and it doesn't fail me. Pretty sure my bio-father's side were a bunch of swamp witches, because supposedly this was how my mother was told by my grandma that she'd have a son. Low and behold, her eldest daughter became her son after all.
