Preparation:
Start by sourcing your dried Lion's Mane mushrooms from a reputable vendor known for quality and purity such as Foraged. It's imperative to choose high-quality mushrooms to get the most out of this unique culinary adventure.
Once you have your dried Lion's Mane, measure out 2 tablespoons. This is a good base amount, but feel free to adjust according to personal taste and potency preference.
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of purified water to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the dried Lion's Mane mushrooms to the water.
Optional: Add ginger slice or cinnamon stick to the pot for additional flavor.
Cover the pot with a lid, and let the mixture simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. This will allow the mushrooms and optional spices to infuse the water thoroughly.
After simmering, strain the tea into your cup using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the mushroom pieces and optional spices. Optional: If desired, stir in a teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener to taste.
