How to Make Chaga Tea
How to make chaga tea from chunks. I enjoy it as a recreational beverage occasionally, or if I feel a cold coming.
Servings: 12 servings
Cost: 1
Equipment
- 1 4 quart soup pot with lid
Ingredients
- ½ oz dried chaga mushroom fresh can also be used
- 8 cups water or filtered water
Instructions
Make the Tea
- Combine the chaga and water in a pot, cover and bring to a simmer.
- Turn the heat to as low as possible and cook for at least 30 minutes or longer for a stronger flavor.
- Remove the mushroom, put in a jar and store in the refrigerator to make additional batches of tea.
Additional Batches
- Reuse the mushroom until it no longer makes tea. 2-4 infusions can typically be made from one chunk. For a stronger brew, cut the water in half or simmer uncovered until the tea develops a dark color.
