Mushroom tea has quickly become an acclaimed trend in both diet and health world. Not only can it be enjoyed as an enjoyable beverage, but its benefits may help strengthen immune systems, reduce inflammation, regulate stress hormones, support gut health, promote mental clarity and focus, as well as aid detoxification processes.

This beverage is prepared by combining one or more edible mushrooms found throughout our world and steeping, also known as brewing, them together to bring their medicinal and healing properties to light.

Reishi, chaga and cordyceps mushrooms are some of the most frequently used in tea for their anti-aging and stress-reduction benefits. Reishi mushroom tea has recently gained in popularity in the US due to its ability to increase longevity and decrease stress-levels. Reishi tea can increase energy levels while simultaneously balancing blood pressure. Reishi tea also reduces cortisol production – an adrenaline hormone linked to depression and anxiety – within your body.

As well as its immune-enhancing effects, other types of mushroom tea can also provide benefits in terms of boosting metabolism and digestion. Chaga mushroom tea contains antioxidants to combat free radical damage caused by free radicals – something which may accelerate aging and disease processes if left unchecked. It has also been proven effective at bolstering immunity while fighting infections as well as providing beta glucans which can lower cholesterol.

Lion’s mane mushroom tea has gained great traction as an effective functional mushroom beverage. Endorsed by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Mischa Barton, lion’s mane tea offers a tasty way to incorporate more plant-based nutrients into our diet while providing cognitive-enhancing properties to keep us alert and focused.

In order to create your own mushroom tea, the first step should be grinding up your mushrooms of choice in a spice or coffee bean grinder until they resemble powder form. Next, boil some water and pour it over your mushroom powder mixture – allow this combination to sit for at least 15 minutes before straining and enjoying!

Once you’ve prepared a mushroom tea of your own, the ideal way to enjoy it is in an unhurried and tranquil environment. Starting or ending each day off right with this mindful tea ritual will do wonders for both body and mind!
