Ingredients
Scale
4–6 quarts of water (depending on how dark you like the “brew”)
1/8 cup dandelion root
1/8 cup chicory root
~1/2 tsp Reishi mushroom powder
~1/2 tsp Chaga mushroom powder
Optional: 1-2 tsp raw honey + cinnamon + almond milk
Instructions
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil.
Add the dandelion and chicory root. Turn the heat to low-medium and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Use a strainer to strain the alternative coffee. Before serving, add a pinch of the Reishi and Chaga powders. Stir well, drink as-is or follow my super special directions in the next step.
For the best beverage ever, add 2-3 cups of the hot dandelion + chicory “coffee” to a blender, along with 1/4 tsp of Reishi mushroom powder and 1/4 tsp Chaga mushroom powder. Add 1/2 cup homemade almond or coconut milk, a dash of cinnamon, and sweetener to taste (I love raw honey). Blend until creamy and frothy. Then, enjoy!
