If you’re tired of drinking coffee every morning and searching for an healthier alternative, mushroom tea in a jar could be just what’s needed! With its many health benefits that include alleviating anxiety and improving immunity, mushrooms make for an excellent solution to help relieve anxiety while simultaneously relieving caffeine withdrawal symptoms. Plus it tastes amazing!

Chaga is an exquisite mushroom found on birch trees that has long been utilized in traditional medicine. Packed full of antioxidants and vital nutrients, chaga makes an incredibly delicious and healthy tea! Simply steep it with hot water.

Last month, I made this tea in my slow cooker and it turned out beautifully! The only changes were adding extra mushrooms as my initial batch lacked enough. Additionally, I prolonged brewing to achieve more depth of flavor compared to its original form.

This easy recipe yields approximately two cups of deliciously flavorful tea that’s sure to please, perfect for quick pick-me-ups or as bedtime drink. Plus, its low calories and carbohydrates content allows those on low carbohydrate diets to enjoy it too! Not to mention its excellent antioxidant, mineral, and vitamin content!

First, prepare the decocted reishi by bringing water to a boil and simmering it for one or two hours – either days in advance, or just before making tea. This process should take approximately an hour per cup of reishi that’s being decocted.

Next, ground your reishi into a powder. This can be accomplished either using a food processor or mortar and pestle. Finally, combine all of your ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously to combine all the powder with them thoroughly.

Once all the ingredients have been combined, store the jar in an airtight container for six-12 months in the fridge or up to one year in the freezer – this makes a delicious addition to soups or can be consumed directly off of a spoon!

There are various varieties of mushrooms you can add to this mix, from reishi, turkey tail and artists conk, all working well; maitake and lionsmane were more difficult to work with and resulted in wasteful results as their tincture contained much liquified mushroom body instead of extractable medicine (though still useful!).

Premade mushroom coffee can be costly. After doing some research, I discovered that certain brands contained more mushrooms and had stronger flavors than others. To find your ideal blend, experiment with several blends until you find your ideal combination – some come equipped with extra items like astragulus or turmeric to enhance it further. Since premade coffee can be more costly, I suggest giving DIY mushroom coffee recipes a try instead to save money and customize ingredients to your preferences!
