Warm and cozy hot chocolate pairs beautifully with fortifying herbs for the ultimate fall cocoa drink!

Ingredients You Need for Hot Chocolate With Maca and Tonic Herbs [Vegan]

8-oz unsweetened coconut milk
2 Tablespoons maple syrup or stevia to taste (a little goes a long way)
1 tablespoon maca powder
2 Tablespoons raw cacao powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch chili powder
1 dropper reishi extract (we make our own from wild-harvested reishi, but you can purchase from a company like Dragon Herbs)

How to Prepare Hot Chocolate With Maca and Tonic Herbs [Vegan]

Mix all the ingredients together in a blender and heat in a saucepan before serving.

Notes

You can store the blended drink in your refrigerator and heat it as desired. It will keep nicely for a week or two. It is also delicious iced or as a base for a smoothie with a banana or two!
Because there is caffeine in the chocolate and maca is a very energizing substance, I do not recommend drinking this late at night.
