Ingredients:

  • 1 cup brewed Lean Joe Bean Superfood Coffee
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp coconut oil (optional, for creaminess)

 

Instructions:

1. Brew The Mushroom Coffee

Start by brewing a fresh cup of mushroom coffee. You can use instant mushroom coffee, pour-over, or a French press—whatever method you prefer.

2. Heat & Froth the Milk

In a small saucepan, heat the oat milk until warm but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, use it to create a light, foamy texture. No frother? No problem! You can blend the milk for a few seconds or whisk vigorously to add some air.

3. Add the Flavor

Stir the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup into your brewed mushroom coffee. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.

4. Pour & Enjoy

Slowly pour the frothed milk over your coffee. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for an extra cozy touch. Take a sip and enjoy the smooth, naturally sweet, and aromatic mushroom latte!

 

Tips & Variations

  1. Make it Iced – Skip the heating step and serve over ice for a refreshing cold latte.
  2. Turn it into a Mocha – Mix in ½ tablespoon cacao powder for a chocolatey twist.
  3. Make it Vegan – Use coconut sugar instead of honey for a plant-based sweetener.

 

This Classic Mushroom Latte is the perfect way to enjoy a cozy, caffeine boost without the crash. Whether you’re new to mushroom coffee or a long-time fan, this simple recipe will become a staple in your morning routine.
