Wake up your vroom-vroom with this surprisingly simple recipe for how to make sex coffee: a cup of java, maca, cacao, and cinnamon. That's it!

These raw foods have been used since ancient times to support your libido and if you're not mixing these bad boy aphrodisiacs into your daily diet, you're missing out on some seriously sexy benefits.

Here's what each aphrodisiac in the ingredients may do for you and your libido:

  • Maca: an Aztec root, usually ground into a powder. An adaptogen, it supports your body in creating the enzymes it needs to balance hormones and enhance fertility. It's often touted as an aphrodisiac, which can increase libido.
  • Cacao: Raw cacao is a stimulant. It gets your blood pumping and triggers your body to release serotonin, which enhances mood. The Journal of Sexual Medicine published the results of a study that found women who ate chocolate daily scored slightly higher on the Female Sexual Index, aka the chart that measures female sexual function.
  • Cinnamon: Cinnamon promotes vital energy, keeping your body from that desire-sucking lag that can come after a busy day.
  • Honey: Honey may increase stamina, and is believed to increase virility and fertility.
  • Coconut milk: Many cultures have used coconut milk to naturally balance hormones and to increase sex drive. Full of healthy fats, coconut milk will give you energy for sex, without a nasty crash.

This sex coffee recipe takes all five of these superfoods and whips them into a gorgeous latte.

To make it, all you'll need is a hand blender and about five minutes from start to finish.

Try making this coffee once a week, especially when you have time to sip slowly and really enjoy your day. You'll get your regular dose of caffeine, plus an added boost from the world's most ancient sex-related superfoods.

It tastes like a delicious, Aztec-spiced drink. If you've ever enjoyed Mexican Hot Chocolate, the flavor is very similar: dark chocolate, cinnamon, and just a touch of sweetness.

Here's how to make sex coffee (and boost your libido for lots of intense orgasms):

  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk
