Mushroom Coffee (Chaga or Reishi Coffee), is one of the newest functional mushrooms trends of 2019. Mushrooms have numerous health-boosting benefits for both our bodies and minds; from strengthening immune function, balancing hormones, providing natural energy boosts, to supporting gut health – mushrooms can do all these and more! While mushroom coffee may be new to North America, other parts of the world have used these adaptogenic mushrooms for centuries – in terms of immunity-boosting benefits; one such aspect being antioxidant content: mushrooms have anti-oxidative properties which reduce stress while supporting cell function as well as inflammation reduction – providing essential support.

DIY mushroom instant coffee is simple and can be tailored specifically to meet your own personal preferences, not to mention more cost-effective than purchasing individual packets of mushroom coffee or pre-filled mugs. Here’s how you can make mushroom instant coffee at home:

Begin with a high-quality instant coffee blend and your desired mushroom powder or extract (such as chaga, reishi or lion’s mane) along with milk (or its alternative), sweetener and spices depending on your personal preferences. A blender may be useful in mixing together all these components if necessary.

Step one in creating mushroom instant coffee at home is choosing a premium coffee. For optimal results, aim to find organic and fair trade certified varieties without additives such as cornstarch or rice powder, while making sure that its label has no fillers, binders or synthetic components listed as ingredients.

Once you’ve decided on your coffee, heat the water to 195oF/90oC before measuring out your desired amount of mushroom powder – generally speaking about one teaspoon (or 2-3 grams) per cup of coffee should do. Simply add it directly into your brewed cup or, for best results if using a blender, blend until all powder has been evenly dispersed throughout your cup of java.

After you’ve finished brewing your coffee, pour it into your mug of choice and take time to appreciate its aroma! Feel free to add milk (or an alternative milk product), sweetener and spices like cinnamon, ginger or cardamom to customize its taste further.

Mushroom instant coffee is an irresistibly delicious way to start the day and provide energy without the crash of caffeine. Although it might not taste quite as satisfying as an espresso brew, you’ll appreciate being provided with various adaptogenic herbs with each sip!
