Runner up in our “make reishi tea taste good” challenge, Kendra of Kendra Can Cook shares her Peppermint/Honey and Peach Reishi Tea recipes. Basic reishi tea is notoriously bitter and Kendra shows us a couple ways to make it less so.
Peppermint & Honey Reishi Mushroom Tea
makes one serving
● 8 ozs water
● 9 reishi mushroom slices
● 8 fresh mint leaves (crushed)
● 2 tbsp honey
● 2 drops of peppermint oil
Bring water to a boil on the stove. Add dried reishi mushroom slices and allow to steep for 15 – 30 minutes. After the mushrooms are fully saturated, add fresh mint, peppermint oil and honey and stir. Reheat if necessary.
Time/Money Savers/FYI’s:
● For another tasty variation, omit the mint & peppermint oil and instead slice & boil a fresh peach, mush it and add the peach juice (and a bit of the pulp) to reishi mushroom tea with a few tablespoons of honey. Delicious!

This sounds wonderful!
Thanks for the recipe Kendra. This will really help as Reishi Tea tastes so gnarly by itself. I’m going to try a batch of this recipe instead.
Thanks Kendra,
My wife, River, is very excited to try the Reishi mushrooms she just learned are growing in our yard. I have a feeling now that she knows how to identify them I’ll be drinking Reishi Tea for a long time to come. River claims Reishi makes you sleep real well. I’ll definitely share your recipe with her.
Happy mushroom to ya,
Buddy Mix
Hi Buddy Mix,
We don’t recommend foraging mushrooms unless you are an expert. Poisonous varieties can appear identical to safe ones.
