How to Brew Reishi Mushroom Tea at Home Using Both Methods
Reishi mushroom is an adaptogenic herb renowned for its immune-supportive benefits and widely used as an ingredient in tea due to its soothing and relaxing properties, making it an effective sleep aid. Reishi comes both dried and in tincture form making it easy to incorporate into everyday routine. Here we’ll teach you how to brew delicious Reishi tea at home using both methods for an enjoyable herbal remedy remedy!
When creating Reishi mushroom tea, quality ingredients are of utmost importance. For optimal results, opt for organic hand-harvested Reishi from a reliable source with third party Certificate of Analysis (COA) verification that verifies beta glucan percentages and triterpenoids content to ensure you deliver all of the beneficial compounds to your body.
Whole reishi mushrooms must be cooked and simmered to release their valuable beta-glucans and produce an exceptionally nutritious beverage. While dried reishi is generally best steeped for 30 to two hours before straining out of its liquid before drinking; as its concentration of nutrients grows stronger over time.
One of the easiest ways to enjoy Reishi mushroom tea is by adding powder to hot water or nut milk and stirring in 1 teaspoon per cup, followed by honey or maple syrup for sweetness and finishing it off with milk/cream for extra flavor.
If herbal tea isn’t your cup of tea, creating Reishi Mushroom Tincture with Chamomile Tea creates an earthy floral balance; or add to any Chai mix for an equally delicious, caffeine-free beverage!
Reishi mushroom tincture can also help ease into sleep at night, just add one dose to your evening herbal blend and it should give you restful restful slumber.
Reishi mushroom can also be taken in capsule form as a supplement or added to smoothies, and Real Mushrooms only offers certified products that use pure reishi extract without fillers, binders or additives to ensure safe and effective use.
