Coffee on its own is a very beloved drink. Adding things like mushroom powders to coffee can offset some of the downsides of coffee, including jitters, acidity, and disrupted digestion. When adding mushrooms to things like hot chocolate, you’re simply reaping the benefits of the various kinds of mushrooms on top of the antioxidants in cacao. Here's the recipe for Mushroom Coffee Latte.

Add mushroom powder, maple syrup, cacao powder, cinnamon, and salt to a small blender. Add hot milk to the blender along with the espresso or coffee. Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until frothy and well-blended.

Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding cinnamon for warmth / spice, more sweetener to taste, or more coffee or espresso for a stronger coffee flavor.

Serve as is, or top with whipped cream or cinnamon. Best when fresh. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top until hot.
