Elixirs are often referred to as “magical potions,” and indeed, when you hit the right combination for you, the energy burst you feel does appear to be magical. The CAFE: Recipe Collection contains a number of adrenal support elixirs. Energizing elixirs provide instant and sustained energy, without the caffeine buzz and hangover, and can be can be made from a variety of fresh whole foods, essential oils, and herbs.
