A recipe for a ‘healing’ hot chocolate mix featuring adaptogenic mushroom powders. The dry mix combines cocoa or cacao powder with a choice of Reishi, Chaga, or Cordyceps mushroom powder, along with marshmallow root, maca powder, and warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. This mix can be stored and then whisked into hot milk or water to create a soothing and guilt-free beverage.
