A rich and soothing hot chocolate infused with adaptogenic mushroom powders, perfect for cozy evenings and stress relief.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond, or oat milk)
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon adaptogenic mushroom powder blend (reishi, chaga, lion’s mane)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: splash (about 2 tablespoons) heavy cream or coconut cream

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk: Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of your milk of choice into a medium-sized saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until hot but not boiling.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon adaptogenic mushroom powder blend, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Add dry mix to milk: Slowly whisk the dry mixture into the warm milk. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until fully combined and smooth with a rich, velvety appearance.
  4. Sweeten and flavor: Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well and adjust sweetness if desired.
  5. Optional creaminess boost: Stir in a splash (about 2 tablespoons) of heavy cream or coconut cream for extra decadence.
  6. Heat through: Keep the mixture on low heat for another 2 minutes, whisking occasionally. Avoid boiling.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Pour into a mug and savor immediately. Garnish with cinnamon or mini marshmallows if desired.

Notes

Heat milk gently to avoid scorching and bitterness. Whisk slowly and thoroughly to prevent clumps and graininess. Adjust sweetness to taste. Optional cream or coconut cream adds richness. Can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
