How to Make Your Own Mushroom Coffee at Home
The Magic Mushroom Make Your Own
If you're starting with pre-made mushroom coffee powder— a blend that already combines coffee with medicinal mushrooms—making your mushroom coffee becomes even simpler. Here's how to brew a delicious cup of mushroom coffee from the powder, along with tips for customization to suit your taste.
Step 1: Measure Your Mushroom Coffee Powder
Quantity: Check the packaging for the recommended amount per serving. Usually, one to two teaspoons of mushroom coffee powder is enough for an 8-ounce cup of coffee.
Step 2: Heat Your Water
Temperature: Heat water to just below boiling, around 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C). This temperature range is ideal for dissolving the mushroom coffee powder without burning it, preserving its flavors and health properties.
Step 3: Dissolve the Mushroom Coffee Powder
Mixing: Put the mushroom coffee powder in your cup and add a small amount of hot water. Stir the mixture to create a smooth paste; this helps prevent clumps.
Add More Water: Once the paste is smooth, add the rest of the hot water and stir well. Ensure the powder is completely dissolved.
Customize Your Mushroom Coffee
Step 4: Enhance with Additives
Sweeteners: If you prefer your coffee sweet, consider adding natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
Creaminess: For a creamier texture, add milk or a plant-based milk alternative like almond, coconut, oat, or soy milk. These can also help balance the earthiness of the mushroom powder.
Extra Flavors: Enhance your coffee with a dash of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or vanilla extract for an extra flavor kick.
Step 5: Enjoy and Adjust
