Tips:

This recipe aids folks weaning off coffee or trying to lower consumption.
Chicory also pairs well with dandelion providing the stimulating, bitter tastiness that coffee offers to coffee lovers.*Warning: chicory is also high in prebiotic fiber, therefore it may cause gastrointestinal distress for those who have dysbiosis.
If you still need a buzz you can mix in small amounts of coffee.

Coffee enema

1/4/2019

1 serving
30-45 min. prep time

3 T Organic caffeinated coffee
1000 ml filtered or distilled water

Brew coffee with boiling water in a French press coffee maker (or boiling water in a pot)
Allow the coffee to brew for 10 minutes
Press down on the French press and then let the coffee cool to room temperature
Pour the 1000 ml of coffee into a bladder or stainless-steel enema bucket (ensure the sterile tubes are already attached and clamped down)
Place the bladder or bucket on a surface approximately 3' above the ground
Place a towel down and lie down on your back
Insert the small thin part of the tub about 3-6" into your rectum (use an oil or gel to lubricate the tube if necessary)
Unlock the clamp and allow the coffee to begin to slowly flow into your body
After all the coffee has been emptied from the bladder or bucket, turn over onto your right side (removing the tube at this stage may cause a release of liquid back out o your body)
Try to hold the coffee in for at least 12-15 minutes by breathing and relaxing your body. Read a book, or listen to music to distract yourself if necessary
When you need to release the coffee enema from your body simply sit on the toilet and allow all of this liquid to be expelled

Tips:

To accelerate step 3, you can pour the brew into a glass container and place in the fridge. Check temperature frequently to avoid letting the brew become to cold.

2 servings
10 minutes

2 ½ heaping tablespoons ground coffee beans
1 teaspoon – 2 tablespoons MCT oil (C8 caprylic acid, if possible)
1-2 tablespoons grass-fed, unsalted butter or 1-2 teaspoons of grass-fed ghee.

optional additions:

1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp Cocoa powder
2 tbsp Maca powder
2 tbsp Turmeric powder
1 tbsp coconut manna
1 tbsp grass-fed collagen powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch Himalayan salt

Brew 1 cup (8-12 ounces) of coffee using filtered water with freshly ground coffee beans. Use a French Press for ease of use and to preserve beneficial coffee oils that paper filters keep out. Allow the ground coffee beans to steep in the French Press for 4 minutes, then slowly push the plunger all the way down.
Pour the coffee into a cup to cool, or directly in a blender to begin adding the remaining ingredients.
Add MCT oil (start slow with this stuff – it’s powerful!) and grass-fed, unsalted butter or grass-fed ghee.
Add cocoa, maca, and turmeric powder, as well as, coconut milk and manna, cinnamon, and salt.
Mix it all in a blender for 20-30 seconds until it looks like a creamy latte. There will be a good amount of foam on top.
Finally, add the collagen powder and blend on a low setting until adequately mixed (this is added last in an effort to avoid protein degradation).

Tips:

When selecting coffee, seek organically-produced beans, to avoid contamination of pesticides. In addition, to avoid mycotoxins (mold), select coffee beans that are sourced from a single origin - in other words, avoid coffee blends.
If a sweeter beverage is desired, feel free to add a tablespoon of raw honey. Avoid adding the honey when the beverage is scorching hot to prevent nutrient degradation.
