Adaptogens Latte Ashwagandha Reishi (Printable)

Creamy ashwagandha and reishi latte sweetened with maple, warmed and frothed for a soothing, wellness-focused drink.

# What You'll Need:

→ Latte Base

01 - 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
02 - 1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder
03 - 1 teaspoon reishi mushroom powder
04 - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch ground black pepper (optional)

→ Topping (optional)

08 - Pinch ground cinnamon or unsweetened cacao powder

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a small saucepan, add 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder, 1 teaspoon reishi mushroom powder, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of black pepper if using; whisk until the powders begin to integrate.
02 - Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and warm the mixture, stirring continuously to prevent sticking, until hot but not boiling, about 4–5 minutes.
03 - Whisk vigorously to dissolve any remaining powder and achieve a uniform suspension, keeping the temperature below a simmer to preserve delicate compounds.
04 - Remove from heat and froth with a handheld frother or briefly blend in a blender to produce a creamy, velvety finish.
05 - Divide the latte between two mugs, dust with a pinch of cinnamon or cacao if desired, and serve immediately.
