Reishi Elderberry Tea

From Renee Davis, R&D Coordinator for Fungi Perfecti and Host Defense.

This delicious tea is a favorite during the Winter months. The herbs can be found at local herb or natural food stores, or online.

• 2 cups water
• 2 tbsp Reishi mushroom tea
• 1 tbsp dried elderberries
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 tsp minced fresh ginger
• 1 slice astragalus root (optional)
• Honey to taste

Combine all ingredients in small pot on the stove. Heat on medium-high until the tea reaches a low boil. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 10–20 minutes (the longer it goes, the stronger it gets). Turn off heat and strain into a mug. Add honey to taste.
