Warm Magic Mushroom Hot Chocolate Recipe Guide
Warm up with a Magic Mushroom Hot Chocolate Recipe filled with cacao, cinnamon, and mushroom powder for a cozy, soothing drink.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole milk or almond milk for dairy-free
- 1 ½ tablespoons cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon lion’s mane mushroom powder
- ½ teaspoon reishi mushroom powder
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 1 –2 teaspoons raw honey adjust to taste
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips for richer flavor
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: extra mushroom powder if you enjoy a stronger herbal taste
Instructions
Step 1: Warm The Milk
- Pour the milk into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Keep it warm, not boiling. When milk boils, it loses its smooth texture, so watch it closely.
Step 2: Add The Cocoa Base
- Whisk in the cacao powder and sea salt. Keep whisking until the cacao dissolves and the milk turns a rich hot cocoa color.
Step 3: Add The Mushroom Goodness
- Sprinkle the lion’s mane powder and reishi powder into the pan. They dissolve slowly at first, so I like to whisk in small circles. You’ll notice the drink getting a little earthy with that light herbal scent—this is where the magic mushrooms flavor shines.
Step 4: Let It Simmer
- Drop the cinnamon stick into the saucepan. Let everything simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. This step helps the cinnamon release its natural flavor and keeps the herbal mushrooms mild, not overpowering.
Step 5: Sweeten & Serve
- Turn off the heat. Stir in raw honey while the drink is warm so it melts smoothly. Remove the cinnamon stick and pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mug. If you want extra richness, whisk in dark chocolate chips before serving.
Step 6: Enjoy Slowly
- Take a small sip first. You’ll taste the cacao upfront, the mild herbal notes in the middle, and the warm cinnamon at the end.
