[Зебра]

ух ты, чагой можно попробовать заменить кофе. Мы в прошлом году нашли на берёзах аж два классных гриба, но они мне сырыми не понравились; белки их немного погрызли, а потом мы их выбросили. Теперь буду искать новые и пробовать "кофе" из чаги :)

Chaga Decoction, aka ’Shroom Tea

Paleo • Vegan • Gluten-free • Low-glycemic • Low-fat

Apples are great and all, but it’s a cup of this chaga goodness a day that really keeps the doctor away. We’ve opted not to delineate it as beneficial for any single ailment because it helps with every ailment. It’s a daily tonic that can lead to incredible overall wellness. Regular consumption of chaga will support and regulate the immune system, alleviate digestive issues, boost the production of cancer-fighting cells, and leave you with radiant skin, lush hair, and more acute vision.
Coffee lovers will be pleased to hear that although we’ve dubbed this drink a mushroom tea, its bitter flavor is actually quite similar to that of coffee. It’s a great anytime drink because you can customize the flavor—try adding vanilla, anise, ginger, or different spices and fruits—based on the season and your mood.
SERVES 4
TOTAL TIME: 12 TO 24 HOURS
1 tablespoon ground chaga (see Notes)
Spices, fruits, and herbs such as licorice root, vanilla bean, star anise, slices of ginger, fresh mint, or berries (optional)
Nut milk of choice (optional)
Agave, raw honey, or stevia (optional)
In a medium saucepan, combine the chaga and 3¾ cups water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer.
Simmer the chaga brew, uncovered, for 12 to 24 hours (see Notes), stirring every hour or so.
For additional flavor, add the flavorings of your choice during the last 30 minutes of boiling (regardless of how long you are brewing the tea).
Strain the tea into mugs. Enjoy as is or doctor it up with nut milk and natural sweetener to your liking. Due to the high quantity of antioxidants the tea contains, extra can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated for up to 5 days. However, we advocate for potency and recommend drinking it within 1 to 2 days to reap the most benefits.
