Health Benefits

Mushroom tea has quickly become a trending product in health food stores and cafes alike. Infused with immune-boosting mushrooms such as chaga and reishi as well as other herbs and spices, mushroom tea helps balance out stress in your body by acting as an adaptogen – helping balance it through relaxation.

Studies have demonstrated that shiitake mushrooms can increase immune function by up to 40%. Furthermore, reishi mushrooms possess anti-inflammatory properties which may improve cardiovascular health while protecting against neurodegenerative disorders like dementia as well as promote bone strength and prevent cancer.

Reishi, chaga and cordyceps mushrooms are three of the most frequently used in mushroom teas for medicinal use. Each is recognized for enhancing energy levels, decreasing stress levels and increasing oxygen intake as well as helping with fatigue management and improving sleep.

Mushroom tea differs from traditional leafy greens in that it can be prepared using various methods. You could, for instance, brew it in hot water or the oven, which allows active compounds from mushroom cells to seep into the broth and contribute nutrients like fiber, riboflavin, niacin and selenium that benefit our health. Lion’s mane and maitake mushrooms can even remain intact in your soup for optimal benefits; harder varieties like reishi need to be strained out. Both types contain essential vitamins such as fiber riboflavin niacin and selenium benefits compared with leafy greens.

Easy to Make

Mushroom tea soup can be easily made at home in just a few easy steps, and customized by adding ingredients like ginger and green onions for flavor enhancement. Enjoy alone or add garnishes such as cilantro to amp up its deliciousness! For an additional boost, add tamari or soy sauce.

To create this recipe, bring water to a boil and steep tea leaves for five minutes before sauteing mushrooms in butter until soft. After that time has elapsed, combine both together and simmer for 15 minutes more, before straining off any extra broth for storage if you would rather serve immediately or let it cool slightly first.

This mushroom tea soup is easy and delicious! Full of umami (a taste created when proteins, fats and carbohydrates combine in food), this mushroom broth makes the perfect base for vegan ramen. Or serve with crusty bread as an easy meal that the whole family will appreciate!
