How to Make Mushroom Coffee From Scratch
Coffee in the morning can set the tone of your day, preparing both body and mind for what lies ahead. Making mushroom coffee a part of your routine may provide added health benefits while helping alleviate caffeine-induced anxiety. Mushroom coffee combines ground coffee beans with functional mushrooms renowned for their medicinal properties for an extra health kick!
Reishi mushroom has long been recognized for its ability to boost energy and support longevity, while simultaneously helping lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol, relieve allergy symptoms and eczema symptoms, as well as ease anxiety symptoms.
Medicinal mushrooms contain polysaccharides and proteoglycans that have been shown to support immune system health, liver detoxification, healthy sleeping patterns and provide natural energy boosting properties. When selecting a Reishi mushroom powder for DIY mushroom coffee making it is best to select one harvested from fruiting bodies rather than mycelium as these contain more beneficial constituents than may otherwise be present in mycelium-harvested powders.
Commercial mushroom coffee brands may be more costly, while crafting your own blend can save money and provide greater control. When purchasing raw, organic ingredients and grinding them yourself, you have more of a say over its quality and can cater it more specifically to meet your individual needs.
