How to Making mushroom coffee at home

The first part of making your mushroom coffee is to get your mushrooms! You can buy them as mushroom powder, the dehydrated fruiting bodies ground into a powder, or https://gbmushrooms.net/mushroom-coffee/ you can get some of these mushrooms and dehydrate and grind them yourself. We have instructions on drying reishi mushrooms on our blog.

Mushroom coffee blends are typically half mushroom powder and half ground coffee. If you make your own, you can brew it with your favorite kind of coffee. If using whole bean coffee, store your beans and your mushroom powder separately and mix when you grind your coffee for brewing. Mushroom powders should be stored away from light, in an airtight container.

How to Brew It
You can brew mushroom coffee just as you brew your morning coffee! You can use a percolator, a pour over setup, even a french press. You use the same amount of ground coffee (mixed with your mushroom powder) as you would with normal coffee, the same filters, everything! The only extra step is adding the mushroom powder.

Some of these medicinal mushrooms have a bitter taste that complements coffee, and some have a subtle, earthy flavor. You can adjust your mix of mushrooms to get the flavor you want, and add cream and sugar if you want.

So take a moment in the morning to drink your mushrooms! Regardless of any extraordinary health claims, you are still getting the nutritional benefits of all those vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and polysaccharides. And you’re doing it so easily you won’t even notice that it’s a health promoting habit!
