The Golden Maple Glow Up is built around contrast. Lioness brings the deepest roast in the Urban Calm lineup, citrus adds brightness and maple pulls the drink back toward familiar coffee-shop sweetness.
Why Lioness works here
Lioness is our espresso roast with Lion's Mane and Cordyceps. The deeper coffee profile matters more than the ingredient names in this recipe because it has to stay noticeable under ice, maple, citrus and foam.
Iced Maple Mushroom Coffee ingredients
Makes 1 drink
Coffee layer
- 1 strong serving of Urban Calm Lioness Espresso mushroom coffee, chilled
Golden citrus base
- 1 tbsp fresh orange juice, strained
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup
- Small pinch ground turmeric for colour
- Tiny pinch fine sea salt
Vanilla-maple foam
- 60 mL oat milk or 2% milk
- 1 tbsp heavy cream or barista-style oat milk
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
To serve
- Ice, ideally larger cubes
How to make it
- Make the citrus base. Shake orange juice, lemon juice, maple syrup, turmeric and salt in a small jar.
- Build the glass. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the citrus mixture over it.
- Add the coffee. Slowly pour chilled Lioness over the back of a spoon for a more visible layer.
- Froth the top. Froth milk, cream or barista oat milk with maple and vanilla until thick but pourable.
- Finish. Pour the foam over the coffee and serve right away.
Make it less sweet
Reduce the maple in either the citrus layer or the foam. Keeping a little in both parts gives you the maple flavour without making the drink heavy.
Make it simpler
Skip the visual layering and stir everything together. The drink will taste almost the same and take less time.
