How to Make Chaga Tea

Dried chaga mushrooms can be found at your local health food store.  If you're a forager, you can also harvest wild ones where I live, in Ontario Canada.  For more information about foraging edible mushrooms, contact your local mycological organization.

Brew about 4-5 chunks of chaga in 1 L of water for about 20-30 minutes. Mushrooms can be used up to about 5 times like this.  I'm making 2 L in this video because I will be going away shortly and don't want to store mushrooms in the freezer.  

Since mine is on its last 2 brews, I heated mine up for about 1 hour to get the rich, dark brown colour.  Once done, enjoy as-is or add your favourite natural sweetener.

Chaga is said to have beneficial qualities such as:
* lowering blood sugar
* lowering bad cholesterol
* support the immune system
* be a source of antioxidants
