Mushroom tea (sometimes referred to as shroom or chaga tea) is a healthful beverage that provides immune-enhancing mushrooms while simultaneously supporting other aspects of our bodies. You can enjoy mushroom tea iced or hot, according to your preference, with honey or maple syrup adding additional sweetness for flavor if desired. Brewing time should not turn bitter either!

Brewing tea can be an artful endeavor that can be altered to fit your specific tastes. To start off right, it is recommended that all ingredients be prepared beforehand, using hot water when brewing your brew to preserve all its health-boosting compounds from mushrooms as well as avoid becoming stale over time.

Once your herbs and mushrooms are prepared, it’s time to boil water in either a kettle, tea pot or stovetop steamer. Be mindful not to overfill any container as this could make the tea bitter while diminishing effectiveness of mushrooms. Filtered or spring water may provide optimal quality results when making tea for maximum enjoyment!

Once the water has been heated, add your mushroom and herbal blend to a mug or glass and stir well so that all ingredients dissolve evenly. Feel free to experiment by adding additional flavors such as hibiscus, licorice root, green tea or chai for an unforgettable flavor experience! It is advised that you allow this tea to steep for approximately 60 minutes as hot water breaks down polysaccharides found in mushrooms into something our bodies understand as healing medicine.

As your tea steeps, take time to appreciate it. Making this beverage can be an enlightening meditation practice: paying attention to how water moves slowly over the surface, where tea bags melt, and what scents arise from herbs can all create an experience that is both comforting and enlightening.
