Reishi Tea
More than 2,000 years ago reishi tea was used in Chinese medicine and is still being used today. It is a perfect boost for your immune system and may assist in other health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants, contain cholesterol-lowering compounds, and have many other properties that are still being discovered.
Ingredients
4 grams - Reishi Mushrooms
4-5 cups - Water
1/2 tsp - Honey (optional)
Directions
Cut reishi mushrooms into small pieces.
Using a mortar and pestle or electric mill, grind reishi pieces into a powder. Note: Reishi is a tough mushroom. If you are unable to cut or grind it, you may also use a whole mushroom. Although it may take longer to brew.
Place 4 grams of reishi powder into a tea infuser or steeping device of your choice.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Note: If you are using a whole reishi, use 5 cups.
Add reishi into boiling water and reduce to a light simmer.
Let simmer for 1-2 hours. The larger the reishi pieces, the longer you should let simmer.
Serve warm with optional honey.
