Ingredients:

• Oyster mushrooms – 100g, finely chopped or powdered (dry mushrooms work even better)

• Milk – 1 cup (Doodh, dairy or plant-based like almond/soy/oat)

• Coffee – 1 tsp instant OR 1 shot espresso (optional, makes it a coffee-mushroom latte)

• Cocoa powder – 1 tsp (optional, for a mocha flavor)

• Cinnamon powder – ¼ tsp (Dalchini, optional)

Method:

1. Make mushroom base

   • Add coffee (if using), cocoa (optional), cinnamon, and mushroom extract/powder. Stir well.

3. Sweeten & finish
