Recipes
October 2, 2019 2 min reading

1 cup of coffee
1-2 tsp MCT oil
2 tsp Coconut oil
2 tsp Ghee (if you're vegan, use a bit more coconut oil instead)
Optional additions:
– 1/4 tsp Reishi extract
– 1/2 tsp Chaga extract
– 2 drops Vanilla stevia
Mix everything in a good blender like our Omniblend. It's important to choose coffee beans of the best quality, preferably from high altitudes and smaller farms; coffee beans that aren't sprayed with pesticides or over-roasted, and purchased directly from coffee growers.You won't find such coffee beans in grocery stores but will need to look in specialty coffee shops or online. Just like with everything we choose, quality is our guiding principle. We recommend brands such as: Kafferostare Per Norby, Johan & Nyström, Koppi Fine Roasters, Drop Coffee Roasters, Da Matteo, Love Coffee Roasters, and The Barn – try some of these coffee varieties and you'll understand that coffee consists of a world of new experiences. We make our coffee using either an Aeropress or a stainless steel Moka pot.

What is the difference between chaga powder and chaga extract in powder form?

Chaga belongs to the tree fungus family. It has a structure that is practically impossible for our digestive system to extract anything from in its raw form. But when heated in water, many active compounds are released that are beneficial for us. The chaga extract is double-extracted using alcohol to extract the adaptogenic terpenes and with hot water to extract the water-soluble immunomodulating polysaccharides. Through this method, both the water-soluble and fat-soluble components of the chaga mushroom can be obtained. Since it's already extracted, you can simply enjoy it directly in e.g. a smoothie, hot water, hot chocolate, or coffee. If you buy a powder that is not an extract, you must first brew tea with it or make your own extract to benefit from the beneficial compounds.
