Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Base
- 1 cup Coconut and Almond Milk blend or any plant-based milk of your choice
Coffee Component
- 2 servings of espresso or ½ cup of strong coffee or decaf espresso or strong decaf coffee
Sweeteners & Flavorings
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar, coconut sugar, or sweetener of your choice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Superfood
- ½ teaspoon mushroom powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee: Brew 2 servings of espresso or ½ cup of strong coffee or decaf espresso, depending on your preference. Ensure the coffee is hot and ready to mix.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, pour 1 cup of the coconut and almond milk blend. Add the brewed coffee, ½ teaspoon of mushroom powder, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or your chosen sweetener), and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Heat and Whisk: Gently heat the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking continuously to blend the mushroom powder evenly and to warm the latte without bringing it to a boil. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Cinnamon: Once heated and well combined, pour the latte into your cup and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top if desired for extra warmth and flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy your adaptogenic vegan mushroom latte warm as a comforting and energizing beverage anytime during the day.
