Nutritional Benefits

Mushroom tea has quickly become a beloved wellness beverage over time due to its immune-enhancing benefits, stress reduction properties and cognitive support properties. Mushroom tea typically consists of combining different mushrooms with various herbs or spices – including adaptogenic varieties like Reishi, Chaga and Turkey Tail which have adaptogenic and medicinal qualities; plus you can add lemon and Stevia sweeteners for additional sweetness!

Mushrooms are a good source of antioxidants, which can reduce inflammation and support healthy functions. Furthermore, mushrooms contain beta-glucans – polysaccharide-based soluble fibre that promotes normal immunological functions – making these essential for maintaining strong immunity systems and healthy bodies, according to research conducted by Chicago Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics.

Some mushroom teas can also provide a rich source of vitamin D, an essential nutrient that can enhance immunity and support bone health. Chaga contains high concentrations of this essential nutrient. In addition, prebiotics found in it help improve gut microbiome health, support normal cell metabolism, boost energy levels, as well as being an excellent source of Vitamin B12. Other mushroom varieties such as Lion’s Mane can enhance brain function while improving focus or Cordyceps can increase stamina during physical activities – making mushroom tea an invaluable source.

Precautions

Finding a quiet spot and sitting down is the ideal way to enjoy mushroom tea. A cup of hot tea can become part of your ritual and provides the ideal time and place for reflection on meditation practices, or can serve as a wonderful way to end off an exhausting day.

Lemon adds an irresistibly tart and delicious flavor to tea, while simultaneously helping reduce any potential nausea caused by mushrooms. Lemon tea preparation method (Lemon Tek) has become popular as an anecdotal method of taking Psilocybin, although no formal studies exist to support its efficacy in mitigating adverse reactions associated with mushroom consumption.

When creating tea, it’s essential that high-grade mushrooms and water are used in order to maximize its therapeutic effects and health benefits. We suggest using filtered or spring water in order to ensure its purity, as this ensures all nutrients contained in mushrooms can be extracted efficiently.

Chopping mushrooms into small pieces is also recommended to maximize surface area and ensure optimal extraction of beneficial compounds during boiling, and prevent overcooking which could result in bitter flavors.

When selecting the ideal mushroom tea blend or flavor for yourself, we advise experimenting with various blends and varieties until you find something that meets your personal preferences. Lion’s mane tea offers sweet earthiness while chaga tea has more bitter woodiness. In addition, we provide convenient elixir sticks that allow you to take your mushroom tea wherever life may lead you!

Storage

Mushrooms are versatile ingredients that pair perfectly with various flavors and herbs, including lemon, cinnamon and honey in tea recipes. Mushrooms typically have an earthy flavor, pairing perfectly with spicy ginger flavors like peppercorn. If you prefer something sweeter try adding flowers for an earthier floral aroma. Mushroom tea can be served hot or cold depending on your personal preferences!

Preparing functional mushroom tea is straightforward. Most mushroom tea products combine dried mushrooms with black, green or oolong teas for an enhanced flavor profile. Simply use a teapot or infusion device to steep this combination with boiling water in your teapot or infusion device – the amount of time spent steeping will depend on which mushroom species is being used.

Brewing techniques are designed to rupture the cell walls of dried mushrooms and release their water-soluble compounds into tea, such as polysaccharides that contribute to many immune-enhancing benefits associated with medicinal mushrooms. Unfortunately, this approach may not be as successful at extracting fat-soluble compounds like triterpenes and sterols which require alcohol-based extraction methods for optimal extraction.

Once the tea has steeped, strain it through a sieve or strainer to remove mushroom solids before pouring into a cup or mug for enjoyment. You can add sugar or honey as desired to further enhance its flavor, or simply drink cold.
