How to Make Mushroom Tea
Mushroom tea may be the latest craze, but its roots date back centuries. Combining mushroom with soothing herbs and sweeteners results in soothing beverages that can bolster immune systems while simultaneously alleviating stress.
Psilocybin mushrooms contain psychoactive compounds that can significantly alter your state of mind. They’re used to make tea containing these mind-altering ingredients; its effects usually take six hours or so before becoming noticeable.
Chaga
Chaga is an ancient herbal remedy known for its potency of vitamins and antioxidants. This mushroom has long been recognized for bolstering immunity while fighting cancerous cells; additionally it may also provide similar stimulant effects without disrupting sleep cycles. Chaga was traditionally used to treat tuberculosis, bad circulation and weight loss while today it’s increasingly consumed as tea or dried herb supplements.
Create Chaga Tea is relatively straightforward. You can either brew it on the stove top or in a crockpot; to maximize nutrients extraction use 4-5 chunks per cup (1 Liter). Chaga is more powerful when used as thick chunks rather than fine grinding; thicker pieces will provide greater energy boost and nutrition to the tea. Once steeping has finished, strain out solid pieces from your drink then serve – any leftovers can be stored in mason jars in the refrigerator and can later be reheated when needed.
Chaga contains beta glucans that stimulate immune function and combat cancerous cells, as well as abundant anti-oxidants that neutralize free radicals that contribute to premature aging and other serious health concerns. Research has proven its ability to do just this in Petri dishes; more studies should be performed before concluding these claims in humans.
Winter is the best time and place to forage chaga, as its presence can be more easily detected on trees without leaves covering it. Additionally, some regions tend to have more abundant supplies of this mushroom species than others; yellow or silver birch trees tend to host most chaga populations while other varieties might also bear it.
Once found, chaga should be washed to rid itself of dirt or insects hiding within its crevices, before being laid out in a shaded area to dry for two to three days in full sun. Once completely dry, it can then be ground into various sizes; fine powder may be suitable for tea bags and infusers while coarsely ground pieces could be ground finer to be used with Bodum style tea pots or coarsely ground pieces could be sliced and finely grounded directly for soups, stews, smoothies or any other hot beverages directly.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps mushroom tea can be an easy and delectable way to boost your immune system. Used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), its benefits have long been revered by practitioners for supporting respiratory and immune health. Recent research is now beginning to shed light on these ancient practices – further legitimizing Cordyceps as an excellent immune-enhancing fungus!
Studies have demonstrated that Cordyceps extract can significantly enhance natural immunity by decreasing bacteria counts in the bloodstream, possibly due to cordycepin’s properties as a compound that enhances respiratory function. Reishi mushrooms also possess anti-inflammatory properties which could potentially help ease asthmatic symptoms or other respiratory conditions.
Mushroom tea may provide an energy boost. Mushrooms contain beta-glucans and polysaccharides, which support metabolic functions while providing natural energy boost. Furthermore, certain mushrooms contain compounds which may help manage blood sugar levels and promote gut health.
Producing mushroom tea at home requires only minimal ingredients and effort. Simply boil water and combine your chosen mushroom(s). After simmering the mixture for up to an hour, allow it to cool before straining out any residual pieces of mushroom that remain.

Mushroom tea is an effective and versatile supplement made from various species of mushrooms, most often including chaga, reishi and lion’s mane mushrooms. Each type offers distinct health benefits; you may select one depending on your desired results.
Reishi
Reishi mushrooms are some of the most revered medicinal mushrooms in herbal medicine, known for their stress-balancing and adaptogenic properties that make it an invaluable addition to any wellness regime. Enjoying Reishi tea each morning or evening is an effective way to energize both mind and body as you start or end your day.
To maximize your Reishi experience, select a high-quality mushroom powder that includes both fruit bodies and mycelium. When selecting organic or hand-harvested options for optimal nutrient density. Once you’ve found one that meets these criteria, follow the directions on its packaging to create your Reishi tea beverage.
Reishi mushroom tea can be easily prepared by breaking up dried Reishi into smaller pieces and mixing it with hot water in a pot, before simmering it for at least 30 minutes and up to two hours or until its color changes to amber-brown – the longer it simmers, the stronger your Reishi mushroom tea will become! After this step is completed, strain out any Reishi pieces before allowing it to cool slightly before drinking it.
Reishi tea has an inherent bitter taste, so to sweeten it you may wish to incorporate other ingredients such as fresh ginger slices in the boiling process or mixing your decoction with chai tea (both popular choices). Reishi can also be served up with honey drizzles or cream for an exquisite experience!
As Reishi is an effective medicinal herb, taking it daily in order to reap its healing properties is key for its maximum effect. Reishi tea provides an easy and simple way to achieve this. Best consumed either early in the morning for increased energy and focus or late at night as an unwinding method – as this ensures maximum stress-balancing and immunity-enhancing effects! To reap maximum health benefits from Reishi be sure to commit to a consistent daily intake!
