1. Fresh
Hericium erinaceus tea can boost cognition, ease digestion, and provide an immune boost. However, brewing this unique mushroom requires time and preparation skills that many do not possess; that is why many opt for Hericium erinaceus supplements which come prepackaged into capsules, tablets or liquid extract.
Fresh lion’s mane mushrooms can be purchased online from certified retailers or locally at specialty and natural food stores. When looking for quality mushrooms, look for retailers with excellent reputations and extensive offerings so that you can ensure the highest possible quality product is procured.
To create a fresh herbal infusion, place dried or fresh mushrooms into a cup and cover them with boiling water. The heat helps break down chitin layers to increase bioavailability of beta-glucans to your body; you may also opt to sweeten with some stevia for additional sweetness if desired.
Making an effective lion’s mane tea relies heavily on using fresh, high-grade mushrooms. Rinsing these mushrooms thoroughly and cutting into smaller pieces to increase surface area can increase how effective your hot water treatment will be. You may want to simmer them for up to two hours.
Another popular method for making lion’s mane mushroom tea involves soaking mushrooms in alcohol to form a tincture, which can then be added to hot or cold beverages and taken whenever necessary for optimal benefits.
To create a tincture, begin by grinding mushrooms until all larger parts have been broken down and increased the surface area for absorption by alcohol. Next, combine this mushroom-alcohol solution and allow it to steep for one month; strain then strain again after steeping and use as needed – alcohol will help extract compounds not easily available through water-soluble methods; additionally you could make tea from it by mixing into hot or cold beverages – this method being more convenient and quicker.
2. Dried
Lion’s mane mushroom tea is an easy and flavorful beverage with potential cognitive, immune and overall wellness benefits. Now widely available in dried slices, powder and ready-to-brew tea bags – making this versatile superfood an invaluable part of any healthy lifestyle.
When creating lion’s mane tea, it is crucial to use only high-quality, additive-free mushrooms. Breaking or slicing up fresh or dried lion’s mane mushrooms increases their surface area for efficient extraction of beneficial compounds and preserve nutrients by simmering for at least 15 minutes so as to infuse water evenly through each piece of mushroom. Once steeping has taken place, remove any extra ingredients such as lemon or honey according to taste – then enjoy!
One way to make a cup of lion’s mane tea is with dried lion’s mane mushroom slices, which you can find at health food stores and online. Simply bring water to a boil, add dried mushroom slices and allow the tea to simmer before straining it before drinking! For added flavor you may wish to stir in cinnamon, ginger or cardamom before sipping your beverage!
An alternative way of making lion’s mane mushroom tea is using dried lion’s mammal extract or powder, easily available in natural health food stores and can easily be added into herbal tea blends. When selecting dried lion’s mane mushroom products, make sure they have been dehydrated at low heat to preserve all beneficial compounds and extract.
Alternately, pre-packaged lion’s mane tea bags can be purchased from both stores and online vendors. These convenient tea bags contain just the right amount of dried lion’s mane mushroom for creating an effective cup of tea.

If you want a traditional lion’s mane mushroom tea experience, use fresh or dried mushrooms to brew your own in a pot on the stove, making sure not to boil the water (simmering is better as this helps preserve beneficial compounds of mushrooms), before straining out and adding a low-glycemic sweetener such as Stevia(r), Xylitol(r) or raw honey to sweeten to your liking.
One popular variation on classic mushroom tea involves adding either rooibos or yerba mate for extra sweetness and refreshing tang. Rhodiola, an adaptogenic herb known to alleviate stress and fatigue is another great addition.
If you want to add an exciting flair to your lion’s mane mushroom tea experience, try preparing it in a blender instead. Heat some milk before combining one serving of lion’s mane mushroom powder and low-glycemic sweetness according to taste – this beverage will have an earthy, mushroomy flavour perfect for improving cognitive function, immune health and digestive issues alike! It also supports healthy gut microbiota.
4. Blend
Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is an adaptogenic herb which has been extensively studied for its cognitive enhancement properties. Research indicates it stimulates nerve growth factor (NGF) production in the brain and thus facilitates neural regeneration and communication among neurons – potentially improving memory, focus and cognition as well as providing immune support.
One effective and simple way to enjoy this superfood is to brew tea with dried or whole mushrooms, Lion’s Mane mushroom powder, or both. Brewing tea this way provides the highest bioavailability of this healing herb; simply boil some water, add your desired amount of Lion’s Mane mushroom powder or dried lion’s mane mushrooms (either whole or powder), stir for 10-15 minutes then strain out. Enjoy!

This tea can also be enhanced with other mood-boosting herbs like chamomile. Both chamomile and lion’s mane have proven stress-reductive properties, making this beverage perfect for before bedtime relaxation or enjoying as an afternoon pick-me-up to soothe both mind and senses.
