How to Make Reishi Coffee
Reishi mushroom, also known as Ganoderma lucidum or “Mushroom of Immortality,” is revered for its powerful antioxidant and immune-enhancing benefits as well as stress-reducing properties. Long used as herbal medicine, its traditional use strengthens hearts while providing steady energy without the spikes and valleys typical of traditional coffee*.
Mushrooms are an abundant source of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Furthermore, mushrooms contain numerous phytochemicals such as beta-glucans that support immune function and healthy cell functioning.
Making Reishi Coffee There are various methods for creating Reishi coffee, but one of the easiest is mixing half a teaspoon of Reishi mushroom extract powder into your daily cup of joe. Or you could opt for a Reishi mushroom coffee blend instead – these typically feature multiple species to provide quick results!
Mushroom extracts can add both a unique flavor profile and nutritional benefits, depending on which extracts you choose to incorporate into your coffee drink. Maitake mushrooms have been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels while chaga may help offset acidity*.
