Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bring a pot or kettle of water to a boil with 1 or more chaga nuggets, depending on size. If nuggets are smaller than a golf ball, add 2-4 nuggets. If about the size of a golf ball or larger, you can use 1-2 nuggets.
  • Once at a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 15-30 minutes, until you have extracted the chaga essence and your water is the color of a weak to dark black tea. Enjoy straight up, sweetened, or with one of the flavorings below.

Notes

Chaga Nuggets: I use Survival Moss chaga nuggets. Use code DREENA for 10% off any order at Survival Moss. 
Water: How much water you use depends on how much tea you are brewing and how many chaga nuggets you are using. If brewing a hot tea for one person, you may opt for just 2 cups of water and one nugget. If brewing for cold brew to store in the fridge, you may want to use 8 cups of water and 2-3 nuggets, etc. It's flexible! 
Flavor Notes:
  1. Hot Tea Pour-Over: Steep your chaga tea, then add the hot tea to a cup with your favorite tea bag. For instance, if you love earl grey or chai tea, simply use the steeped chaga water instead of boiled water. Voila! Instant chaga tea goodness that tastes like your favorite tea. My morning ritual includes adding my Guayua tea, I love it.
  2. Cold tea brew infusion: If you prefer a chilled/cool tea, steep your chaga water and let cool slightly. Add to jars with a cold tea brew infusion. Place in the fridge and enjoy for up to 3-4 days.
  3. Other Flavors: Additional ways to flavor your tea include adding:
