Ingredients
Mushroom tea (sometimes known as shroom tea) is an infusion of mushrooms and other ingredients that can be enjoyed either warm or cold as a beverage. Most often associated with healing properties and cognitive enhancement, mushroom tea also assists digestion, weight loss and more. Ingredients used depend on which mushroom was selected as part of an infusion but typically yield earthy-tasting infusions that provide grounding qualities.
Although chaga mushroom is one of the most sought-after options for creating mushroom herbal tea, there is a wide range of medicinal and health benefits that are offered in different ingredients that make up mushroom herbal tea. Some brands source local mushrooms while others focus on sustainably harvesting fungi from forests – Sayan Tea uses organic far-infrared heated air drying technology to dry chaga from Siberia’s pristine birch trees!
The flavor of tea depends on the mushrooms used and other herbs and spices like hibiscus, lemon balm, orange peel and lion’s mane that may also be added – these ingredients can be combined together to form unique blends for each brand, with more concentrated or subtler flavors depending on whether sun tea is used instead of boiling hot water over the stove for brewing.
Mushroom teas may be experiencing a surge in popularity, yet their industry faces many hurdles to success. Many factors can impact success from supply chain management to marketing, retail and shelf life. Yet their market continues to flourish; as more people learn of its benefits they should anticipate expansion of this sector.
Preparation
Medicinal mushrooms offer many health advantages. While mushroom tea may be associated with hallucinogenic magic mushrooms and their mind- and mood-altering effects, there are other mushroom species which provide medicinal benefits without hallucinogenic side effects.
For mushroom herbal tea, start by gathering dried or fresh herbs from either dried herbs such as rosemary or mint and adding it directly into boiling water. If using dried herbs, grind into powder using either a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder before mixing into boiling water. Allow this tea to steep for 10-15 minutes before straining it and enjoying your beverage!
Add flavorful ingredients such as hibiscus, licorice root or chai to your mushroom herbal tea for maximum enjoyment. Or use it as the basis of other herbal blends; Chaga has an especially savory aroma and pairs well with spices or almond milk while Reishi adaptogens provide an earthy flavor which complements chai tea spices nicely.
Mushroom herbal tea offers many advantages for digestion, not least being safer since your body won’t absorb as much psilocybin directly into its bloodstream than when taking raw mushrooms directly.
Once your tea is ready for consumption, place it into a clean glass bottle and store in the fridge. Without herbs added it should last several days; with them added it could last up to seven. For longer-term storage of your homemade brew you could either brew again or freeze in ice cube trays; warm or cold drinks can also be enjoyed according to personal taste; just be sure that consumption occurs in an environment like your bed or couch to maximize comfort!
