Ingredients

The Functionist Organic Mushroom Blend: A blend of 10 organic medicinal mushroom powders that add a wide variety of health-boosting benefits to this perfect morning latte.

Matcha Powder: This Japanese green tea powder adds flavor, color and a nice natural energy boost.

Ground Ginger: Ginger adds warmth and flavor, in nice contrast to the other ingredients, all without being too overpowering.

Natural Sweetener: Optionally, you can add a dash of maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar to this latte, for a nice touch of well-balanced sweetness.

Milk of Choice: Milk adds creaminess and a nice comfort factor this flavorful beverage. I love to use oat milk, but any plant-based or conventional milk variety will do.

How to Make – Step-by-Step

Step 1: In your favorite mug, combine The Functionist Mushroom Blend, ground ginger, matcha powder and natural sweetener (if using). Give a stir.

Step 2: Add 1 cup of boiling water to the mug, then mix until all powders have dissolved.

Step 3: Top off with 1/2 cup of the milk of your choice.

Step 4: Enjoy!

FAQ

Is this drink spicy?

The ginger in this recipe adds an ever so subtle touch of spice, that isn’t very spicy, but more warming in nature. If you are sensitive to spicy foods or ginger, you can halve or omit the ginger if need be, for a still-tasty latte.

Can I use a different milk?

Yes. We love oat milk in this household, but regular dairy-based milk or any plant-based milk will work well in this recipe.

Can I serve this cold or iced?

Yes. To serve cold or iced, prepare the recipe as instructed, then refrigerate to chill or top off with ice.
