🍵 How to Brew Dried Sliced Reishi Mushroom Tea
Reishi’s woody texture and bitter taste require a slow extraction to unlock its full therapeutic potential.
🔬 Basic Decoction Method
1. Ingredients:
• 2-4 slices of dried Reishi mushroom
• 4–5 cups of filtered water
2. Instructions:
• Rinse the slices briefly under cool water.
• Add to a pot with water and bring to a boil.
• Reduce to a simmer and cover.
• Simmer for 30–60 minutes (up to 2 hours for stronger extraction).
• Strain and serve warm. Optional: add ginger, cinnamon, or honey to soften the bitterness.
3. Storage:
• Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently or enjoy chilled.
🧪 Advanced Tips
• Double Decoction: Reuse the same slices for a second brew to maximize extraction.
• Blend with Other Herbs: Pair with astragalus, licorice, or goji berries for synergistic effects.
• Powdered Option: Grind dried slices into powder for smoothies or capsules, though decoction remains the most bioavailable method.
