How to Make Coconut Water Lemonade with Mushrooms
This is a simple but effective drink that combines the natural benefits of coconut water with mushroom tinctures. I started making this when I wanted something hydrating but also functional for long work days. The lemon adds a nice brightness that balances out the subtle earthiness from the mushrooms.
If you're new to mushroom tinctures, don't worry - the flavor is very mild in this mix. The coconut water's natural sweetness is the main thing you'll taste, along with the citrus kick.

The Health Benefits of Coconut Water and Mushrooms
Coconut water is basically nature's Gatorade - it's full of electrolytes like potassium and magnesium that help you stay hydrated better than plain water. It's especially good after exercise or on hot days.
The mushrooms each do their own thing: Lion's Mane helps with focus and mental clarity (great for work days), while Reishi has a calming effect and can help with stress. Both support your immune system too.
Combined, you get something that's both hydrating and functional - good for your body and mind without any crash or jitters. Plus, it just tastes good and makes you feel refreshed.
