    It makes a lovely cordial with just mango and a little hot pepper and ginger alone.- Omit even the ginger if you like. You need not put all the other herbs in it. Continue recipe as usual.

    As for if it is "strong" well, that depends on how we both interpret what ‘strong’ is and how well I explain myself (we’re in trouble now)

    The finished cordial, with all the herbs in it does not actually taste strong. It’s quality is warm, tasting of mango and caramel. The Maca does this. With some added depth to it, this is due in part by the the cacoa beans.

    As far as strength. The concoction has powerful adaptogens in it. Maca and Ashwagandha, both of which have been used for a very long time to help the body adapt to stress, support the normal metabolic functions, increase the bodies physical biological and emotional and environmental stressors and help restore balance. Some, like Maca also increase sexual stamina in both men and women.
