This mushroom coffee blends shade grown, organic arabica coffee with a selection of medicinal and warming mushrooms and spices such as organic lion’s mane, reishi, cordyceps and chaga superfood mushrooms as well as astragalus for maximum enjoyment!
Medicinal Mushrooms
Mushrooms have long been praised by ancient cultures for their health-boosting properties, while modern science is just beginning to understand their power. Mushrooms have long been used as immune boosters and antibacterial agents; now research confirms their benefits. Medicinal mushrooms provide powerful wellness enhancing beta-glucans which activate and boost the body’s natural immune system which protects against infection, chronic metabolic imbalances and more.
Lion’s mane, cordyceps and chaga mushrooms are among the most powerful medicinal mushrooms, utilized by traditional healers as natural treatments for fatigue, inflammation and chronic stress-related issues. More recently they’ve also become increasingly popular as remedies against neurological conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s by strengthening nervous systems.
These fungi also offer other health advantages, including supporting cardiovascular and kidney health. Maitake, for example, is a powerful antioxidant that may support insulin and glucose levels while lessening radiation and chemotherapy side effects on the body. Other species like turkey tail and shiitake may reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol and improve heart health while cordyceps increases energy.
Many scientific studies on medicinal mushrooms conducted on lab animals have produced considerable evidence that these mushrooms can promote human health. One key finding has been that certain compounds found in fungi can stimulate immune cells and kill cancer cells; polysaccharides found within fungi have also proven themselves as highly effective immunostimulants.
Mushrooms can be consumed either as dried powder or liquid extract, depending on your preference and convenience. Powder may be easier and quicker to consume, while liquid extracts offer greater concentrations of active compounds which are better absorbed into the body. Medicinal mushroom products in liquid extract form can be taken both alongside meals and beverages or as standalone supplements.
Cashew Milk
Cashew milk is a delectable dairy-free alternative that’s simple to prepare at home. Use either a high-speed or regular blender, adding optional ingredients like vanilla extract, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon or sweeteners (maple syrup, honey or agave nectar are great choices) before sweetening with maple syrup, honey or agave nectar if desired. Plus, it only takes minutes and doesn’t require straining!
Make homemade cashew milk by combining 3 cups of filtered water, cashews and any optional ingredients into a blender until creamy – this may take several minutes depending on the strength of your blender – before adding optional ingredients until the milk becomes smooth and frothy. Transfer this delicious beverage into an airtight jar to store in your fridge; it should last five days!
The beauty of this dairy-free drink is that anyone, even those with lactose intolerance, can enjoy it. Furthermore, it provides extra antioxidants in your diet and magnesium that is vital to maintaining healthy blood pressure levels and bone wellness.
Cashew milk is an ideal dairy-free beverage option that’s naturally creamy and indulgent, perfect for use in recipes calling for nut or soy milk – and may help you cut back on unnecessary additives!

If you’re uncertain of which milk to use for this recipe, try our Minor Figures Barista Oat milk instead – its organic composition makes it vegan, dairy- and lactose-free for optimal use when trying to limit caffeine intake or experiencing sensitivities. Once your mix has set up, remove from heat and either pour directly into a mug or whisk with an electric frother until silky foam appears; alternatively you could always add one shot of espresso once the coffee has set in for an extra caffeine kick!
