When using whole mushrooms, it’s essential that they be properly dried first.

Once dried, you can break them into small pieces using either a kitchen knife or mortar and pestle.

For optimal results when making tea with whole mushrooms, it is recommended to allow the ingredients to steep for at least 20-30 minutes before drinking. You can add more water if you would prefer thinner tea; additionally, allow time for it to cool before sipping it!

Another alternative for creating mushroom tea is using mushroom extract powder. This option can make things much simpler than working with whole mushrooms, yet still create delicious beverages using it. Please refer to your specific extract powder’s dosing recommendations, which may differ.
