Reishi Hot Chocolate: A Cozy Evening Wind-Down

This Reishi hot chocolate turns a nightly treat into a calming ritual. Rich cacao masks Reishi's earthy bitterness completely, and it's caffeine-free – perfect for winding down before bed.

Ingredients (serves 1)

• 1/2 tsp Reishi extract powder
• 1 cup milk of choice (or half milk, half water)
• 1 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
• Pinch of sea salt; optional pinch of cinnamon

Method

1. Gently warm the milk in a small pot (don't boil).
2. Whisk in the cacao, Reishi powder, sweetener, salt and cinnamon until smooth and frothy.
3. Pour into your favourite mug and sip slowly as you wind down.

Tips

• Extra calm: add a little Poria extract, another gentle calming mushroom – see Poria benefits.
• Timing: enjoy about an hour before bed for the best wind-down.
• Dairy-free: oat milk makes it especially creamy.
