4min read

If you’ve recently come across the name ‘mushroom hot chocolate’ and you can’t make heads or tails of it, then we’re here to straighten things out. Keep reading to find out why everyone’s drinking it, what it tastes like and learn exactly what it is.

What is mushroom hot chocolate? 

So, it’s not just slipping a couple of slices of portobello mushrooms into your hot chocolate – there’s a bit more to this one.

There are a few different ways to make your mushroom hot chocolate; there are some premade sachets and mixes that include a range of dried mushrooms (that can include reishi, lion’s mane, cordyceps and chaga among others) plus some type of cacao and, sometimes, plant-milk powder.

The alternative option is to make up your own mix of your favourite healthy mushroom powders, (vegan) hot chocolate powder and plant-milk or water! 

What does mushroom hot chocolate taste like? 

Not like creamy mushroom pasta, you’ll (probably) be grateful to hear. It tastes like any good, deep and flavourful hot chocolate, no earthy mushroom tastes to be found.
