How to Make Reishi Coffee
Reishi mushrooms are considered one of the most celebrated tonic mushrooms in Chinese medicine; 16th Century Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen even dubbed it the “mushroom of immortality.” Reishi provides more balanced and sustained energy compared to traditional coffee which only uses caffeine for energy boost. As an adaptogen it also relieves stress while supporting sleep, mental clarity, and immune health.
Reishi mushroom is an effective anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Reishi extract makes a delicious addition to hot beverages like coffee and tea, adding the necessary anti-inflammatories and antioxidants that you need for daily health benefits. Reishi coffee products on the market offer easy solutions; making your own is both cost-effective and straightforward; all it requires is mixing mushroom extract powder (Lion’s Mane enhances cognition, Chaga reduces stress, Cordyceps boost immunity) with ground or instant coffee and creating an alternative that has significantly less caffeine than traditional coffee beverages – beneficial if needed for those needing to limit caffeine or sensitive individuals that want lower caffeine consumption or those who need less caffeine for daily health reasons.
Make your own reishi coffee using high-quality blend of reishi extract and coffee by brewing with either French Press or drip coffee maker, then adding optional ingredients like milk substitutes, natural sweeteners, cinnamon, grated ginger, coconut butter or raw honey as desired. Finish by a pinch of salt to enhance taste before blending and serving in a mug – ideal before bedtime or any time you require an energy boost without caffeine-induced side effects!
