How to Add Reishi Mushroom in Your Coffee
With so many passing trends, mushroom coffee seems like it will remain. This beverage consists of ground coffee mixed with functional mushrooms to boost immune system health and offer other potential health benefits. Although long-term research remains limited for such beverages, most individuals can safely enjoy them in moderation.
People looking to incorporate reishi mushroom into their coffee can do so easily by simply adding a small amount of mushroom powder at the same ratio they would when making regular coffee. For those grinding their own beans, adding it once the coffee has been ground is simple while instant coffee buyers may simply substitute this mushroom powder in place of sugar or sweeteners normally used.
Mushroom lovers new to this trend may wonder what their beloved cup of joe will taste like with mushrooms mixed in, but these edible fungi tend to have an earthy, subtle taste that blends perfectly with the refreshing coffee flavor.
One popular method is creating cold brew mushroom coffee. This method helps keep the caffeine intake at an acceptable level while decreasing acid reflux risks – perfect for those wanting to increase mushroom consumption, yet cannot tolerate traditional hot coffee’s added caffeine content. To create it, simply combine room-temperature water in a mason jar with ground coffee and mushroom extract; cover and store in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours to produce an indulgent beverage with robust flavors that include functional mushrooms such as cordyceps, chaga and reishi which boost immunity as well as energy levels – perfect!
