Lucinda’s Shroomy Matcha
If you love a sweet and warm milky drink to wake you up in the morning, with a hint of chocolate, then this glorious matcha is for you.
This is the morning matcha I make on repeat when I need my brain to be switched on and my energy optimised, without becoming overstimulated or jittery from too much caffeine. The matcha provides a combination or light caffeine and calming theanine and the lion’s mane contains properties to help with cognitive sharpness. If your brain needs to be on 100% charge right now, this is the drink to choose!
The Cocoa butter is high in vitamin D as well as minerals such as potassium, copper, iron, zinc and magnesium, so this gem of a drink is a multimineral in a mug!
Suitable from 12 years plus, this shroomy matcha makes a perfect companion to revision sessions, essay writing and exams.
