Immunity Boosting Hot Chocolate Elixir

For years I have enjoyed making variations of my hot chocolate elixir and frequently, I've added mushroom powders.  Mushroom powders help to boost the immune system, but some of them have other properties as well.  Take your pick from the list below and add it to my base recipe.

Immunity system support & Calming = Reishi
Respiratory Strengthening = Cordyceps
A potent immunity system supporter & beauty booster = Chaga
A potent immunity system supporter = Turkey Tail
All of the above = Zura Mushroom Mix


Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups freshly made almond milk, warmed (or your favorite nut/seed milk)
  
• 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
• 1/4 tsp cordyceps
• 2-3 tbsp caramel (optional- see recipe below)
• 1 tsp cinnamon

To make the caramel, combine:

• 1/4 cup natural sweetener
• 3 1/2 tablespoons almond butter
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla

Directions:
 Warm the almond milk and combine all ingredients in Vitamix. Mix until well blended and serve in a mug. Mmm...
