How Long to Let Mushroom Tea Steep
No matter your aim – stress relief, immunity support or mental clarity – mushroom tea is an easy-to-make herbal infusion that’s both relaxing and versatile – experiment with various blends and dosages until you find what suits you.
Reishi, chaga, lion’s mane and turkey tail mushrooms contain numerous antioxidants and bioactive compounds which make them extremely nutritious. Drinking tea made with these medicinal mushrooms helps make them more digestible; or add these functional herbs into coffee for an energy boost each morning!
Make delicious tea at home easily and effortlessly by heating water to boiling and pouring it over dried mushrooms or herbs. For optimal results, opt for high-quality ingredients that have been sustainably sourced and grown using responsible cultivation practices. Add sweetness with honey or zest with lemon to further elevate its flavor!
If you’re using whole or cut mushrooms, grinding them into powder will increase surface area for extraction and reduce time when making tea. Plus, this will make powders last longer! Just be mindful that too much heat could degrade some beneficial compounds.
Adaptogenic teas combine the power of mushrooms with other powerful herbs to promote overall health. Ingredients found in adaptogenic teas often include ashwagandha for relieving stress and anxiety and rhodiola, an adaptogen which boosts adrenal health and energy levels.
