Instructions
Make the Paste
In a mug, whisk the lion's mane and reishi powder with a small splash of warm milk to form a smooth paste.
Warm and Combine
Heat the remaining milk in a small saucepan until steaming, not boiling.
Whisk in the cacao powder and cinnamon until fully dissolved.
Pour the warm milk mixture into the mug with the mushroom paste, whisking as you pour.
Stir in maple syrup to taste.
Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Whisk the mushroom powder into a small amount of liquid first to avoid a gritty texture. Fruiting-body extracts taste less bitter than cheaper mycelium-based powders.
