We love a good Chai latte. The warm spices paired with black tea tastes like heaven in a big mug. This coffee house–style drink gets an extra energy kick from medicinal mushrooms. Chaga, cordyceps, lion’s mane, and maitake mushrooms have been valued for their healing and immune-boosting properties in Eastern medicine for centuries, and this epic combination will add a delightful spark of energy and vibrancy to your day.
It’s a perfectly nutritious (and delicious!) way to fuel your mornings. You can make a large batch of the chai spice mix ahead of time so that you’re ready to quickly prepare a latte whenever you want.
