Why This Recipe Works
Winter can make your body feel sluggish and your brain feel foggy. This blend tackles both.
The base is clean, high-quality coffee for alertness—no jittery crash if you pair it with fat and minerals. Add dandelion and chicory to support liver function and digestion while giving that roasty depth without extra caffeine. Warming spices like cinnamon and ginger increase circulation, making cold mornings suck less.
A pinch of mineral-rich salt keeps hydration on track and balances bitterness. Finally, a touch of ghee or coconut oil smooths the flavor and slows caffeine absorption, giving you energy that lasts.
Ingredients
- 10–12 oz freshly brewed coffee (medium roast; organic if possible)
- 1–2 tsp roasted dandelion root powder or tea concentrate
- 1 tsp chicory root powder (optional but highly recommended)
- 1/2–1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon (ground)
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (or a thin slice of fresh ginger steeped)
- 1 tsp cacao powder (for mood support and antioxidants)
- 1–2 tsp ghee or coconut oil/MCT oil
- 1/8 tsp fine sea salt or mineral salt
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or raw honey (optional, to taste)
- 4–6 oz hot water or unsweetened milk (almond, oat, or dairy) for volume and creaminess
- Optional boosters: 1/2 tsp reishi or chaga powder, a dash of cardamom, collagen peptides for protein
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Brew your base. Make 10–12 oz of coffee using your favorite method. Aim for a medium-strength brew so the spices don’t get bulldozed.
- Prep your mug blend. In a large mug or blender, add dandelion, chicory, cinnamon, ginger, cacao, sea salt, and any optional boosters.
- Add the fats. Spoon in ghee or coconut/MCT oil.
This is the key to smoother energy and a creamy mouthfeel without heavy cream.
- Sweeten (if you like). Add maple syrup or honey. Keep it modest so you stay steady, not spiky.
- Combine with coffee. Pour the hot coffee over the mixture. Add 4–6 oz of hot water or warmed milk to reach your ideal volume and richness.
- Blend or froth. Use a handheld frother or a blender for 10–20 seconds until silky.
No frother? Whisk like you mean it.
- Taste and adjust. Need more warmth? Add a pinch more cinnamon or ginger.
Want deeper roast? A little extra chicory does the trick.
- Serve immediately. Sip slowly. Breathe.
Consider your next best move. Then crush it.
Storage Instructions
- Short-term: Keep leftover brewed coffee and spiced mixture separate in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently and blend before serving.
- Batch prep: Make a dry spice mix (cinnamon, ginger, cacao, chicory, dandelion) and store in an airtight jar for up to 1 month.
Use 2–3 tsp per cup.
- Freezer hack: Freeze brewed coffee in ice trays. Toss a few cubes into hot milk, add the spice mix, blend, and boom—instant ritual.
Nutritional Perks
- Steadier energy: Healthy fat (ghee or coconut/MCT) slows caffeine absorption, reducing jitters and the dreaded crash.
- Liver support: Dandelion and chicory contain inulin and bitter compounds that may support bile flow and digestion.
- Metabolism and warmth: Cinnamon and ginger can support circulation and help manage blood sugar—very cozy, very useful.
- Antioxidants galore: Coffee, cacao, and spices bring serious polyphenols. Your cells will send thank-you notes.
- Mineral balance: A tiny pinch of salt supports hydration and rounds out flavor.
Tiny but mighty.
Avoid These Mistakes
- Over-spicing it. Too much ginger or cinnamon can make it gritty or hot. Start small; you can always add more.
- Skipping the fat. No ghee or coconut oil means faster caffeine spike and a thinner texture. Your call, but don’t complain about jitters later.
- Using stale coffee. Old beans = flat flavor.
Freshly ground beans make this sing.
- Cold add-ins to boiling liquid. Collagen or cacao can clump in super-hot coffee. Blend or froth well to avoid “floaters.”
- Too much sweetener. A sugar bomb defeats the whole reset vibe. Keep it minimal, IMO.
Different Ways to Make This
- Decaf evening version: Use Swiss-water decaf plus reishi for a grounding nightcap.
Skip the ginger if you’re sensitive at night.
- Latte-style: Use 6 oz strong coffee and 8 oz steamed milk (oat or almond). Froth with the spices for a café-level finish.
- Mocha vibe: Double the cacao, add a splash of vanilla, and keep sweetener light. It tastes fancy; it’s still functional.
- Herbal-only: No coffee?
Brew strong roasted dandelion and chicory tea, then follow the same spice and fat steps.
- Protein-boosted: Add collagen peptides or a clean, unflavored protein. Great for a light breakfast when you’re on the move.
- Spicy kick: Add a dash of cayenne for extra warmth and circulation. Just a dash—this isn’t a dare.
FAQ
Can I use instant coffee?
Yes, choose a high-quality instant and use slightly less water for a richer base.
The spices and fats will upgrade it fast—no judgment here.
Is this safe if I’m sensitive to caffeine?
Try half-caf or decaf. The grounding effect still lands thanks to the fats, minerals, and spices. Always listen to your body first.

🧪 Science Behind Your Sip — Does Coffee Help?
What if I don’t have dandelion or chicory?
You can skip them, but they add that roasty depth and digestive support.
If you must, increase cacao and cinnamon slightly for body.
Can I make it cold?
Absolutely. Use chilled brewed coffee, dissolve spices in a splash of hot water first, then blend with coffee, milk, and ice. Froth or shake hard for a creamy texture.
Is honey okay if I’m keeping sugar low?
Use 1/2–1 tsp or omit entirely.
The cinnamon and cacao bring natural sweetness, FYI.
Will this break a fast?
The fats and sweeteners technically break a strict fast. If you’re time-restricted eating, you can do black coffee with spices only, or use plain MCT for a softer impact.
Can I prep a large batch for the week?
Make a dry spice mix and store it. Brew fresh coffee daily for best taste, then add 2–3 tsp of the mix, fat, and optional sweetener.
Speed without sacrifice.
