Fine extract powderTHE SHORT ANSWER
Coffee, tea, cocoa or a warm latte.
Smoothies, shakes or blended drinks.
Oatmeal, yogurt, soup, sauce or gravy.
FOR A SMOOTHER MIX
Put your label-directed serving in a cup and add a small splash of lukewarm water.
Use a fork, whisk or milk frother until the powder becomes a smooth paste.
Top up with your coffee, tea or other liquid and stir once more.


WHY GOOD POWDER CAN CLUMP
Concentrated mushroom extracts contain naturally occurring beta-glucans. Fine powder can resist wetting at first, especially when dropped all at once into a full mug. That does not mean anything is wrong with it.
A small amount of lukewarm liquid, a brief rest and gentle mixing help the powder hydrate evenly. A milk frother makes especially quick work of it.
CHOOSE YOUR RITUAL
Deeper varieties such as Reishi and Chaga pair naturally with bold coffee or cocoa. Milder powders suit tea and lattes.
The easiest option when you want the flavour to disappear. Add the powder before blending.
Mix into a small portion first, then fold it through the rest for an even texture.
Lion's Mane, Maitake and Shiitake feel especially natural in savoury food. Mix based on the number of servings.
MAKE THE WEEK EASY
For convenience, make a small batch with water, keep it covered in the refrigerator and shake before using. Make only a few days at a time, and use clean utensils and a clean container.
Freeze the prepared mixture in a small silicone mould. Drop one portion into a hot drink, smoothie, soup or sauce.
THE BEST METHOD
Follow the serving directions on your product label, begin with a simple routine and adjust the food or drink—not the serving—to suit your taste.
