Four cups

Preparation

1. Chop the dried mushrooms coarsely and grind to a fine powder in a spice mill or use a mortar and pestle. Wrap this powder securely in muslin and set aside.
2. Bring 8 cups water to a boil. Drop the reishi bag in and lower the heat until the liquid has reduced by half, about 1 hours. Drink no more than 1 cup daily for no more than a month. The tea, a pick-me-up for the immune system, can be refrigerated for 1 week.
