Ingredients:

• 1 oz dried red reishi mushrooms
• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger
• 2-3 tablespoons honey, or to taste
• Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Using a sharp knife or a coffee grinder, cut or grind the dried red reishi mushrooms into small pieces or a coarse powder.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, reishi mushroom pieces or powder, and sliced ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 20-30 minutes. The longer the tea simmers, the stronger the flavors will become.
4. After simmering, strain the tea through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a heatproof container, removing the reishi mushroom pieces and ginger slices.
5. Stir in the honey, adjusting the amount to your preferred sweetness.
6. Pour the tea into cups or mugs, garnishing each with a lemon slice if desired. Enjoy the Red Reishi Mushroom Tea with Ginger and Honey hot, or let it cool to room temperature and serve over ice for a refreshing chilled beverage.
