Mushrooms are Magic

 But these aren't magic mushrooms  

They are mushrooms magically transformed into coffee



Instant coffee made from a blend of the mushrooms listed below

Reishi
Shitake
Maca
Cordyceps
Lion's mane
Ashwagandha 

'Supports energy, focus, productivity and adrenal health. Enjoy the added benefit of happiness in every sip' . So it says on the packet. 


My son in law Yiannis gave me a packet for my birthday.  I was a bit wary of trying it, not sure what to expect. Then I read about it on another blog (Jabblog). I opened the packet, gave it a sniff. Not mushroomy at all. So I boiled some water and made a cup. 


It's very pleasant with an almost chocolatey taste. It has less caffeine, reduces anxiety and improves immunity. 'They say'. 

Now you know

    1. I was thinking of you and your mushroom collecting when I read the label. Bizarre maybe but actually a very nice drink

    1. It could be a way to get rid of a crowd. Fortunately my son in law and I are on good terms.

  8. The taste sounds interesting and counter-intuitive. You're up with the latest trend now.
    I love the salad meme - it could be so true.
