Turkey Tail Mushroom Tea
An earthy tea made by simmering dried turkey tail mushrooms. This brewing method is not a medical dose or a treatment.
Servings: 1 batch
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 tablespoons dried turkey tail mushrooms clean and crumbled; correctly identified or from a reputable food supplier
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Combine the dried mushroom pieces and water in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
- Simmer uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes, watching the water level so the pan does not boil dry.

- Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers promptly at 40°F or below and use within 3 to 4 days.
