Looking for a delicious summer coffee idea that refreshes and tastes amazing? What if I told you that you can make a coffee that also provides natural support for your brain and immunity? Discover the recipes for iced lattes with adaptogens – the new coffee trend that combines pleasure with health benefits. A café-style latte, but with an ingredient that supports your health!
Coffee with adaptogens – what’s it all about?
Adaptogens are natural substances – mostly derived from mushrooms or plants – that help the body cope with stress and restore balance. Instead of the artificial stimulation you get from energy drinks, they offer natural support: more energy, better focus, and less stress.
This is the idea behind Barista Mushroom Drops – an innovative coffee addition that combines extracts from two functional mushrooms:
- Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) – naturally supports memory, concentration, and cognitive functions.
- Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) – a powerful antioxidant that boosts immunity and regeneration.
The whole thing is enclosed in a glycerine base – which means Barista Drops gently sweeten the drink and blend wonderfully with the coffee’s flavor without overpowering it.
Barista Mushroom Drops come in two flavors – classic and caramel – so you can easily match them to your preferred coffee style, whether you love the subtle elegance of classic flavors or a touch of dessert sweetness.
Summer coffee doesn’t have to be boring
Dreaming of a fancy iced latte like you’d find at a top bistro, but don’t want to spend a fortune? With this list of recipes, you can create coffee masterpieces in your own kitchen – with ice, plant-based milk, and a delicate hint of vanilla, caramel, or pistachio. And thanks to Barista Mushroom Drops, your coffee won’t just taste great, it will also support your body.
