Mushroom tea can help boost immunity, increase energy levels and support overall health. Packed with beneficial compounds like beta-glucans, polysaccharides and triterpenoids that have anti-inflammatory, immunity enhancing and antioxidant effects; mushroom tea can be made using different medicinal mushrooms like Chaga, Reishi or Lion’s Mane; adding it into your daily routine will make sure that these powerful adaptogenic herbs deliver maximum benefit!

Mushrooms can be consumed in many different forms, from whole dried mushrooms and tea blends, tinctures and powdered extracts, all the way to tincture extracts that contain different compounds extracted by these formats. Each format extracts different compounds. Dried mushroom teas are created by steeping medicinal mushrooms for an extended period in water so as to release their beneficial compounds quickly into your system; loose leaf or tea bag options make brewing easy and quick!

Alternatively, whole mushrooms can be kept fresh by placing them in a paper bag on the refrigerator shelf and using them quickly after purchase. To maintain freshness, wash mushrooms before storing and avoid keeping them in the crisper drawer where moisture may collect.

Mushroom tea should be steeped for 20 minutes at least to achieve maximum extraction and potency, depending on whether loose leaf blends require 85-90degC temperatures for optimal extraction, or tea bags require 5-10 minutes of steeping time. Not only can temperature affect flavour and efficacy, but duration also has its impact.

Mushroom tea’s benefits can last in your refrigerator for 2-3 days, although for optimal potency it should be consumed immediately as long-sitting tea may lose some of its beneficial qualities and become tasteless over time.

Freezing mushroom tea into ice cubes for longer-term storage will preserve both its flavour and quality, as well as allowing you to use it whenever desired in any beverage of choice.
