How to Make Reishi Mushroom Coffee
Reishi mushrooms offer many health advantages, from immune system boosts and heart health improvement to mental clarity and inflammation reduction. Reishi mushroom coffee contains powerful antioxidants which may help combat any oxidative stress that could potentially cause these conditions.
Reishi mushroom coffee can either be purchased in pre-mixed blends or made at home using the recipe below. When selecting a blend, look for one without fillers such as grain starch; these should include extract from whole mushroom fruiting bodies which provide more of the beneficial constituents such as beta-glucans and polysaccharides found within them.
Make your own reishi mushroom coffee easily by mixing ground coffee with extract from medicinal mushrooms such as chaga or lion’s mane; most blends also include other adaptogenic herbs and spices for additional benefits. When selecting coffee beans for this project, always opt for high quality beans and invest in an efficient grinder – this will guarantee smooth and flavorful final products!
Some varieties of mushrooms (such as reishi and cordyceps) may interfere with blood pressure or blood sugar medications, so make sure you consult with a healthcare practitioner before beginning this supplement. Mushrooms can also cause increased bloat and gas in some people – particularly those suffering from IBS or those sensitive to FODMAP foods.
For an easy way to try reishi mushroom coffee, there are numerous companies such as Four Sigmatic or Ryze offering pre-packaged blends. While these may not be cheap options, they’re an easy and hassle-free way to get started without making your own batch from scratch.
