Looking for a cozy drink that’ll give you all the ritualistic joy of coffee with a few extra benefits? Get inspired with this recipe from sustainable fashion design, Christy Baskauskas of Christy Dawn.

We recently shared Christy’s recipe on Instagram as our first ‘pumpkin spice latte alt’ of the season. We adore a warm, functional latte and — there’s just something special about this one.

Froth this drink recipe up in your blender (yes, you can do that with warm drinks!) and feel all the fall feelings.

Nourishing ghee (buy it grass-fed!), an enriching blend of chai spices, plus the minerals from the cacao powder will elevate you with a sense of delicious well-being as we enter a new season…
