Author: Kami McBride

Ingredients

  • 2 cups organic milk of your choice
  • 1 tbsp organic cacao powder
  • 1 tsp ashwagandha root powder
  • 1 tsp cordyceps extract powder
  • 1/4 tsp reishi extract powder
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey (or to taste)
  • Cinnamon powder or sticks for garnish

Instructions

  • Gently heat your preferred milk on the stovetop. 
  • While the milk is heating, mix the cacao, ashwagandha, cordyceps, reishi, and cardamom in a pour-spout mixing bowl.
  • When the milk is hot, pour slowly over the herbs, mixing as you go.
  • When the milk has cooled to a drinkable temperature, stir in the vanilla and honey, to taste.
  • Pour into a mug, garnish with cinnamon, and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: To make a ready-to-use mix, multiply the dry ingredient quantities by 10, mix well, and store in a labeled glass jar. When you’re craving a cup, add 1 tbsp of dry mix, ⅛ tsp vanilla, and a drizzle of honey per cup of warm milk.
