Why not Switch up that boring Cup of Coffee with a Coffee/Tea blend for Better Health. Cofftea!
It’s simple and gives your coffee a nice earthy fruity flavor. The benefits make it even a better reason to give it a try. Herbal medicines are a way to maintain or improve overall health.
Ingredients:
- 10 cups of Springwater. (I prefer using Kangen Water with a PH of 8.5-9.5)
- 1 Thick chunk 2″ of Ginger
- 1 Tbs Rose Hips
- 1.5 Tbs of Taheebo Tea
- 1.5 Tsb of Rooibos Tea. ( Mixed ones are fine)
- 3 pieces of Reishi Mushroom.
- 5-6 small chunks of Chaga Mushrooms.
- 1 C of brewed or instant coffee.
Use Stainless steel pot, Ceramic or a Chinese brewing pot. (Follow instructions on using the Chinese brew pot)
Heat water on the stove to a boil. Let stand 5 minutes. Add ingredients cover and simmer low for 2-4 hrs. DO NOT LET BOIL. This destroys active ingredients in the herbs. Cool.
The water does boil down so I add another 1 cup throughout the cooking time. Strain and add to a glass jar or container. The contents will last up to 3-4 day in the refrigerator. The Chaga and the Reishi can be reused once dry and put away in an open container in the fridge for 1-2 more uses.
In the morning you can heat up 1 Cup of the tea and add it to 1 c of coffee. Add desired cream, and/or sugar. Remember that microwave and boiling can destroy active ingredients so caution is required.
