Hot Chocolate with Lion’s Mane Tea
Lion’s Mane has been shown to enhance mood and support brain health. For a great start to your day, make this hot chocolate with Bravo Tea Lion’s Mane mushroom tea. Steamed milk is optional but adds a delightful foamy texture to the top of this nourishing brew. For a vegan or dairy-free version, we find that oat milk steams the best!

8-10 oz hot water
1 Bravo Tea Lion’s Mane tea bag
2 heaping teaspoons cocoa powder
Splash of maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
Steamed milk to top (optional)
Instructions:
Brew 1 bag of Bravo Tea Lion’s Mane mushroom tea in 8-10 ounces of hot water for 3-4 minutes. Add cocoa powder and sweetener and mix until the cocoa powder has dissolved. A handheld frother is useful for this step if you have one. Lastly, add steamed milk to the top.

1 tsp honey, or natural sweetener of your choice

Schisandra Berry Lemon Fizz Mocktail
Schisandra berry has been used in traditional Eastern medicine as a tonic to improve vitality; this fizzy mock tail adds a bold burst to its benefits! The complex “five flavors” of the Schisandra berry is perfectly complemented by the bubbly seltzer. For best results, allow the tea to cool before pouring over ice so it doesn’t get too diluted.

Sweetener, to taste (optional)
Ice
Juice of ½ of a lemon, about 2-3 tsp

4-5 strawberries, frozen then thawed
8 oz hot water

Muddle your strawberries, then add 8 ounces of hot water and 1 bag of Bravo Tea Chaga mushroom tea. Brew for 3-4 minutes, then strain. Optionally, add fresh basil for garnish.
