Iced Mocha Mushroom

Directions

1. Prepare Concentrate. Combine herbal tea and hot water; steep for 10 minutes. Strain fully and discard solids; refrigerate or allow to cool.
2. Prepare Sweet Cream. Add half & half and milk to a large mug or frothing pitcher. Using a Milk Frother, whip to aerate for about one minute, or until the liquid has doubled in volume. Add maple syrup granules and continue to aerate until fully incorporated and frothy.
3. Assemble Latte. Add mocha mushroom concentrate to a 16-ounce glass. Add enough ice to just cover the liquid. Top with freshly frothed maple sweet cream. Sip as a layered drink or stir to combine.

Tips for Success

1. Both components of this beverage can be prepared up to one day in advance, covered, and refrigerated.Frothed maple sweet cream will deflate as it sits. Reaerate just before serving to refresh its volume and consistency.This beverage can be prepared hot by gently heating the maple sweet cream ingredients before aerating with a milk frother. Assemble in a 12-ounce mug while tea is hot; omit ice.Plant-based creamers and milks can be substituted for half & half and whole milk, respectively. Varied results in flavor and froth consistency should be expected.
