How to Make Mushroom Chai With Cacao Powder
If you are new to functional mushrooms, adding them into a tea can be an easy and delicious way to start exploring this aspect of health and wellbeing. Here is our Gut-Healing Mushroom Chai Recipe which will do exactly that!
Cacao is an abundant source of antioxidants and essential fatty acids such as omega-3. The compounds found in cacao help improve cardiovascular health and decrease inflammation. Furthermore, cacao contains the aphrodisiac chemicals phenethylamine and anandamide which may increase energy and foster feelings of bliss. Furthermore, cacao’s magnesium content can reduce blood pressure, digestion and clotting issues as well as provide improved muscle function while relieving stress levels.
Ceremonial cacao may have been utilized as a spiritual drug during ancient times, and has now become widely popular as an emotional self-development aid in modern society. Anecdotal evidence supports claims that ritual cacao consumption increases feelings of love, empathy, and compassion due to an increase in brain release of phenethylamine and anandamide after eating chocolate.
Cacao can be combined with various medicinal mushrooms to produce powerful herbal remedies, and one such combination includes Reishi, Cordyceps, Chaga, Lion’s Mane and Turkey Tail mushrooms to further its mood-boosting and longevity properties. This blend provides an effective alternative to caffeine that boosts energy without creating the jitters and crashes associated with coffee consumption.
Making a tincture of mushrooms is another effective way of harnessing their power in tea, requiring far fewer ingredients and being easier than making raw cacao paste. Simply mix desired amount of powder with small amount of water until forming paste before slowly adding remaining water until liquid form and stirring to drink in 20-30 minutes.
Raw cacao offers many health advantages, yet some people can find its bitter taste too overwhelming to consume on its own. To reduce bitterness and mask its strong earthy flavors more effectively, mix some powder with milk or another liquid before trying it directly – this should help to mitigate its bitterness while masking any potential strong earthy notes in raw cacao beans or nibs.
Mushroom Cacao is an organic, non-GMO formula containing only the strongest edible and medicinal mushrooms available, including Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Chaga and Turkey Tail mushrooms – giving you balanced energy without the jitters or crashes associated with coffee consumption. Our formula features no fillers, binders, grain or starch for maximum quality absorption ensuring lasting vitality!
