Reishi mushroom coffee is an easy-to-prepare functional beverage made by mixing coffee with one or more types of mushroom extracts, including Ganoderma lucidum or Reishi, known for its healing and immortality properties. Benefits may include reduced fatigue, restful sleep and soothing frayed nerves.

Reishi mushrooms contain beta-glucans which may help slow or stop tumor growth by activating natural killer cells to attack cancerous cells, while mushroom coffee extracts contain functional mushroom extracts which may support heart health, increase energy levels, improve focus and memory recall or provide anti-aging benefits.

Mushroom coffee mixes come in instant packets that are perfect for cold brew coffee drinkers, making the ingredients easily accessible and adding variety. Most mushroom coffee mixes combine coffee with mushroom extracts such as cordyceps, chaga, turkey tail or lion’s mane for optimal results, both flavoring the beverage while providing nutritional benefits.

Coffee made using cold brew methods has less caffeine than its counterpart, making it an excellent choice for people with caffeine sensitivities or looking to limit their daily caffeine consumption. You can make cold brew with or without milk and sweetener – it all depends on personal taste!

Reishi mushroom coffee can be made easily by mixing cold-brewed coffee with reishi powder, nut butter and ginger or cinnamon in a blender until you achieve your desired consistency. Add your desired toppings before serving.
