    Lion's Mane morning coffee

    The two-minute swap that starts the desk day

    3 minutes Serves 1

    A stirred, frothed coffee built on our FOCUS Lion's Mane powder. No blender, no ceremony, just a better version of the cup you were making anyway.

    Ingredients

    • 1 scoop FOCUS Lion's Mane powder
    • 1 shot espresso or 120ml strong filter coffee
    • 150ml oat milk, barista style
    • 1 tsp maple syrup, optional
    • Pinch of sea salt

    Method

    1. 1

      Warm the oat milk gently, do not boil it.

    2. 2

      Whisk the Lion's Mane powder into 2 tbsp of the warm milk first, to a smooth paste. This is the step people skip and then complain about lumps.

    3. 3

      Pull the espresso straight over the paste and stir.

    4. 4

      Froth the rest of the milk, pour, and finish with maple and the pinch of salt.

    Cook's notes

    • Iced version: shake the paste, coffee and 100ml cold milk over ice for 15 seconds.
    • Dairy works just as well. Fat carries the flavour, so full fat is friendlier than skimmed.
