How to Make Reishi Mushroom Coffee
Reishi mushroom is known for its energy-boosting, stress-relieving and antibacterial properties. Additionally, reishi is said to boost immunity, promote healthy skin and hair care and even support longevity. Reishi has even been used as an anxiety reliever, improve sleep quality and aid in decreasing inflammation.
Many companies offer mushroom coffee blends in powder form. You can purchase these at specialty health stores and grocery chains; however, making your own at home may save money and allow you to tailor it according to your own personal tastes.
To create Reishi mushroom coffee, begin by brewing your preferred black or dark roast coffee. Next, mix one teaspoon of mushroom extract powder into hot coffee and stir. For best results, opt for high-quality organic mushroom blends like Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane and Chaga to support immunity, focus and cognitive function, as well as stress reduction.
Add flavor and benefits to your reishi mushroom coffee by enhancing the experience with milk, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon or nutmeg – even an espresso shot for extra caffeine boost!
If you don’t own a coffee maker, pour your brewed coffee into a large mug and whisk in the reishi mushroom extract powder, milk/milk alternative alternative, spices and reishi powder until fully blended. Sweeten as desired with honey/maple syrup/stevia to suit your palate!
