Lianna Tarantin is regularly seen toting an extra large mason jar in the morning with a mystery brew. When prompted, she’ll divulge it’s the elixir responsible for her heightened focus, boosted creative energy, nixed cravings, taut skin, and added pep. This “special” coffee, prepared almost ceremonially, is packed with enough vitamins, phytonutrients, and adaptogens to transform her day. “It’s the right balance of bitter earthiness and natural sources of sweet, with a velvety texture. I look forward to this ritual every morning,” Tarantin says. Here, she shares the recipe for the ultimate metabolism-revving, cacao-forward coffee tonic.
