Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Make sure to heat the latte gently to preserve the delicate properties of the adaptogens without boiling. Whisking well ensures a smooth and evenly blended drink, while frothing adds a luxurious texture. Use a handheld frother or blender depending on your preference for frothiness.
