How to Make Reishi Mushroom Coffee at Home
Reishi mushroom coffee has quickly become the beverage of choice among adults today – and for good reason. Packed with healthful and low-caffeine benefits that can help keep you focused, relaxed, and sleeping soundly at night; Reishi mushroom coffee also reduces stress, boosts immune function and supports cognitive health; it’s no wonder 1 out of every 4 adults want to switch from caffeine consumption to mushroom coffee!
Though you can purchase pre-packaged mushroom coffee from brands such as Four Sigmatic (the company behind this trend), making your own at home is simple enough if you have access to adaptogenic mushroom powders and extracts as well as freshly brewed coffee from either your local grocery store or roaster.
Mushrooms are abundant with antioxidants, fiber, and complex B vitamins that can boost energy production within the body and may even help reduce inflammation, boost immunity and aid digestion.
Reishi mushrooms are not the only functional mushrooms you can add to your cup. Consider chaga, commonly referred to as the “King of Mushrooms,” for immune system support; cordyceps is believed to increase energy and endurance; while lion’s mane is believed to help focus memory and cognitive functioning.
Though most healthy mushrooms don’t taste quite like the portobellos you may expect, they still add a distinct taste and can even help cut black coffee’s acidity. Many mushroom coffee flavors such as those offered by Four Sigmatic and FreshCap Organics come infused with herbs and spices that mask any earthiness of these unique coffee offerings.
