Then Coffee

I'm a huge coffee fan.  I love it, but I am sensitive to it.  I only drink coffee in the morning, and never more than 2 cups.  Otherwise I can get over-stimulated.

I usually make a huge tonic elixir in the morning,  Not today.  I need to re-order!  So here's a recipe for a minimal Herbal Bulletproof Coffee.  Here's how I do it:

When I get home, or a few hours before I go to bed, I'll take my pot, and light it.

Just kidding, I'll take my pot and add about a tablespoon of chaga dust and a tablespoon of prepared he shou wu chips.  Then I'll add 2-3 cups of water.

I like to let it sit for a little before turning the heat on.  I think it's important not to immediately put it on high heat.  After sitting for 15 minutes or so, I'll turn the heat on.

I bring the water to a boil or there about, and then turn the heat off.  Done for the night.

Next morning, I'll wake up and bring the water to a boil.  While that's happening, I'll grind beans.  

Ground beans go into the French Press.  I try to pour the decoction, leaving the plant material in the pot.

I'll have it sit until it's cool enough to drink.

I put a tablespoon of ghee, a tablespoon of coconut oil, a pinch of salt and like half a tablespoon of honey in the blender.  Coffee goes in, lid goes on, blending occurs.

And BAM! you're good to go!
