Maitake Mushroom Tea

Water temperature: The water must not be colder than 90-95 degrees Celsius (194-203 Degrees Fahrenheit). This level is crucial because it enables you to extract all essential nutrients and flavors from the maitake mushrooms properly while brewing.

Steeping time: One can use around 1-2 teaspoons of dry maitake mushrooms or the tea itself. The quantity you pour into your teapot or infuser determines the steeping duration. In any case, it has to be somewhere between five to seven minutes. As the time duration increases, it brings forth a stronger taste.

Additions, extras, other flavorings: Although many people like a touch of honey or ginger on their drink, maitake tea has a very light earthy taste which is delicious all by itself. Combining it with other non-medicinal herbs, such as mint or lemon balm, can also help improve its overall taste.

As iced tea: For iced maitake mushroom tea, carefully prepare the tea mix as you would normally. After allowing the mixture to cool down, pour it into a glass containing ice. To enhance the flavor further, include lemon or other green herbs.

Serving tips: From the viewpoints of taming spicy flavors, do consider taking it hot, while a chilled version can be used for ice tea. It is indeed a pleasant experience.

Nonetheless, because Maitake Mushroom Tea has some medicinal properties, it would be wiser to talk with your healthcare provider first if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking any medications.

This is because maitake mushrooms may invalidate the effects of certain drugs, especially those that regulate blood sugar levels.

And people who are allergic to mushrooms should not take this tea, nor should individuals with autoimmune conditions because maitake mushrooms are known to provoke immune response, so one may need to seek guidance from a doctor before making this tea part of their routine practice.
