Brain Proof Coffee
Ingredients
1 tsp instant Coffee or ground fresh coffee
½ tsp Reishi Mushroom Powder
½ Cup of favourite Plant Milk
1tsp xylitol or coconut sugar
Directions
- OPTION 1 – If making percolated coffee just add mushroom powder with the coffee and let brew for a little longer than usual. Add honey and milk to taste.
- OPTION 2 – Recommended – Add instant coffee and mushroom powder to stainless steel pot with a cup of water. Bring to the boil and let simmer for minimum 30mins and up to 1hour. This helps get the most medicinal benefits from your mushrooms. The water will evaporate down to half. Top up again with plant milk and continue to heat for an additional 5mins. As reishi is bitter you may want to add sweetener to taste.
