Ingredients

• 1 packet Four Sigmatic Cacao Mix with Reishi

• 8 oz Dairy-Free Milk

• 1/2 tsp Vanilla

• Optional: 1/2 tsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or monk fruit)

Preparations

1. Warm milk to the desired temperature.

2. Add a packet of cacao/ reishi mix, vanilla, and sweetener to a blender (I use the Nutribullet) to warm milk.

3. Pour ingredients into a blender and blend on high for about 10 seconds. Blending gets rid of any chunks of powder and makes the milk frothy! Definitely worth the extra step! If you don’t want to blend just stir well until incorporated.

4. Pour into a mug and enjoy!
