Chocolate Reishi Wellness Honey
Called the “Mushroom of Immortality,” Reishi is among the many wellness mushrooms used by herbalists for hundreds of years. Reishi is earthy and umami in flavour, which is why paired with natural chocolate flavour and wild honey, it becomes uniquely delicious. Handcraft your very own Chocolate Reishi Wellness Honey from scratch. As Reishi is known for its immune-boosting capabilities, this blend is great to take every day. Spread on toast, drizzle over oats, or eat with a spoon (we don’t judge!).

INGREDIENTS 1 cup honey 8 tsp reishi mushroom powder 12 drops of Medicine Flower
Chocolate Flavouring Oil
RECIPE NOTES Use: Stir 1 tsp, or to taste of Mushroom Honey into 1 cup (250 mL) of hot water for a soothing tonic. Add to teas, lattes, tonics and elixirs . Drizzle over toast, porridge, add to salad dressings, and any other dishes that could use a bit of chocolatey-umami jazz!
DIRECTIONS * If honey is liquid enough to stir, you may skip the heating process. Remove 2-3 Tbsps of honey from the jar. This is to avoid overfilling. You can reserve the extra honey for use in tea, or other projects.* Fill a medium-sized pot with one and a half inches of water. Place jar of honey into the water bath. The water line should be well below the rim of the jar. Gently warm on the stovetop over low/medium heat. Do not allow water to boil.* Heat for approximately 10 minutes, then remove honey from the water bath. Use caution as the jar will be warm. Dry the outside of jars and carefully remove the lids to check the consistency. The honey does not need to be entirely runny, but it needs to be easily mixable with a spoon. If it is not yet melted enough, return the jar to the water bath, checking frequently.* Gently fold Reishi mushroom powder into honey with a small mixing spoon until very well combined. Use a spatula to scrape down the honey from the sides of the jar and off of the spoon. Add 12 drops of chocolate flavouring oil, or to taste, and mix well. Clean any honey from the top ring of the jar before applying the lid. Seal and label.
