Combining Reishi with warm milk, a pinch of fat, and warm spices softens its bitterness and creates a soothing evening ritual.
Ingredients
- Om Reishi Powder: 1 scoop / 1 tsp (2 grams)
- Warm Milk or Plant Milk: 8 oz (Oat, almond, or whole milk work well)
- Healthy Fat: 1 tsp coconut oil, ghee, or butter (helps suspend the powder and mellows the bitter taste)
- Sweetener: 1–2 tsp honey, maple syrup, or a dash of cinnamon/vanilla
- Optional Spices: A pinch of nutmeg or turmeric
Preparation Steps
- Simmer: Add the milk and Reishi powder to a small saucepan over low heat. Allow it to warm gently for 3–5 minutes—avoiding a rolling boil—to soften the raw powder.
- Mix/Froth: Stir in your fat, sweetener, and spices. For the best texture, use an electric milk frother or briefly run it through a blender to fully homogenize the powder into the milk.
- Serve: Pour into a mug and drink warm about 30 to 60 minutes before bed.
Pro-Tip for Sediment: Since whole mushroom and oat fiber won’t completely dissolve like a soluble extract, stir or swirl your mug occasionally as you sip to keep the powder evenly distributed.
