Reishi Mushroom Tea Recipe
Ingredients
- 3-5 grams reishi mushroom (dried, grounded or sliced)
- 4-5 cups water (filtered)
- 8 leaves mint (fresh and crushed, optional)
- 2 tbsp honey (optional)
- 2 drops peppermint oil (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the water into a pot or any other container and bring it to a boil. Make sure you don't use an aluminum container as the process requires heating for long, and the metal is neither a perfect absorber nor a reflector of heat.
- Add reishi powder or slices to it and let it boil for another half an hour. If you prefer a strong flavor, you may let it boil for longer, but keep adding more water as it evaporates.
- Turn off the heat and let the mushrooms steep in it for another 30 minutes, even longer if possible. Reishi mushroom is woody, therefore it needs time to steep.
- Now you may add honey, peppermint oil, and mint to the pot and stir it well.
- Strain the mixture into a jar using a strainer or a cheesecloth.
- Pour it in your cup and relish this healthy beverage!
