Reishi Mushrooms Have A Reputation That Is Legendary, And Are Said To Enhance Health, Promote Longevity And Increase Wisdom And Happiness. These Mushrooms Are Very Rare. From A Group Of 10,000 Aged Trees, Only Two Or Three Can Grow Reishi Mushrooms. These Mushrooms Are Known As The King Of Herbs In Chinese Medicine. Reishi Tea - Break Down The Dried Reishi Mushroom In Smaller Pieces Which Are Better For Hot Water Extraction. Use About 4 - 5 Cups Of Water For Every 3 - 5 Grams Of Reishi. Bring The Water To A Boil In A Stainless Steel Or Ceramic Pot. Don'T Use Aluminum. Add The Broken Down Mushroom Pieces And Reduce The Heat Until The Mixture Is Simmering, Not Boiling. Let It Simmer For 2 Hours. Remove From The Heat, Strain, And Set Aside. Let The Liquid Cool For A Little And It Will Be Ready To Drink. How To Store - It Is Very Important That Dried Mushrooms Are Stored Properly To Insure Long Term And Maximum Freshness. Place The Mushrooms Into Either A Plastic Or Glass Container With A Tight Fitting Lid. Our First Recommendation, Though, Is Freezing Or Storing In A Refrigerator Or Freezer. Place The Dried Mushrooms In A Clean, Tight Sealing Freezer Bag. The Reason For Maximum Cold Storage Is Because Heat And Moisture Are The Greatest Enemies. The Mushrooms Should Keep Well For Six Months To A Year. Please Note: These Statements Have Not Been Evaluated By The Fda.
