Frothy Coffee Tips:

  • If possible, we recommend organic and fair-trade coffee (just like with chocolate): Equal Exchange, Ola’s, Good Coffee for a Good Cause are great options.
  • The medicinal mushrooms are completely optional, yet are recommended if you really enjoy an earthy, malty flavor and to reap a few health benefits of squeezing in extra nutrients.
  • If you’re new to them, check out the post on medicinal mushrooms.
  • You can use MCT oil, coconut oil, or any nut butter you have on hand to create the frothy texture.
  • Make it a mocha! Add 1 tablespoon high-quality cocoa powder.
