Frequently Asked Questions

Not recommended—hot chocolate mix contains sugar and additives that make it too sweet and less authentic. Unsweetened cocoa powder gives you control over sweetness and richer chocolate flavor.

Much lower than coffee shop mochas! With 1 tsp maple syrup, it's only about 5-6g added sugar (vs. 30-40g in typical mochas). Adjust sweetness to your preference.

Absolutely! Make the mocha base with hot water, let it cool completely, then pour over ice with cold milk. Top with cold foam or whipped cream for an iced mocha.

The chocolate and earthy mushroom notes actually complement each other beautifully. You'll still get the functional benefits of Lion's Mane, Chaga, and Cordyceps with a delicious chocolate twist.
