Mushroom tea is more than a health trend: it can also offer a delicious and convenient way to access all the benefits of functional mushrooms. From relaxing with Reishi tea, immune-enhancing Chaga, or supporting focus and cognition with Lion’s mane, finding your ideal mushroom tea experience comes down to finding its balance of flavors and potency – experiment with ingredients, dosages, brewing methods etc until you discover one you truly love!

How to Make Mushroom Tea Taste Good

The taste of mushroom tea largely depends on which species and how long you brew it for, for instance chaga is famous for its earthy, nourishing quality while reishi is milder with subtle, pleasant undertones. To add an extra satisfying element, add optional add-ins such as honey, lemon juice or ginger slices – these will sweeten and spice up any tea experience while providing important vitamins C boost. Fresh ginger slices add natural spice notes for even further enjoyment.

To create mushroom tea, simply bring water to a boil before reducing heat and steeping mushrooms pieces or powder for 20-30 minutes in it, stirring periodically to ensure even infusion of mushrooms. Strain your tea using either mesh strainer, cheesecloth or tea infuser before enjoying!
