Category: Beverage

Introduction

Woamkyn Mushroom Adaptogen Herbal Tea is a beloved product for its unique blend of adaptogenic mushrooms and herbs, designed to boost energy and combat fatigue. The original product combines Reishi and Eleuthero mushrooms with a French Roast flavor, creating a rich, earthy tea that has gained a loyal following. However, many fans of the tea are eager to recreate it at home for better control over ingredients, reduced costs, and improved nutritional value. This recipe captures the essence of the original while using accessible, wholesome ingredients and allowing for customization to suit personal preferences.

As someone who loves experimenting with herbal remedies and teas, I was inspired to create this homemade version after falling in love with the original. By using high-quality, organic ingredients and simple preparation methods, I’ve crafted a tea that not only tastes remarkably similar but also offers a healthier profile with fewer additives and more adaptogenic benefits.

Why Make It at Home?

Making this tea at home allows you to:

• Use fresh, organic ingredients for better flavor and nutrition.
• Customize the blend to your taste preferences or dietary needs.
• Save money compared to buying pre-packaged tea bags.
• Avoid preservatives and artificial flavorings often found in commercial products.
• Enjoy a fresh brew every time without compromising on quality.

Personal Anecdote

I first discovered Woamkyn Mushroom Adaptogen Herbal Tea during a particularly stressful period when I needed a natural energy boost. While I loved the product, I wanted more control over the ingredients and a fresher taste. After months of experimentation, I perfected this homemade version. It’s now a staple in my pantry, and I enjoy the satisfaction of brewing a cup that’s not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.

Recipe Details

**Prep Time:10 minutes
**Cook Time:20 minutes
**Total Time:30 minutes
**Yield:25 servings (1 cup per serving)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup (120g) dried Reishi mushroom powder (or 2 cups sliced fresh Reishi mushrooms)
• 1/2 cup (60g) dried Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng) root powder
• 1 cup (120g) roasted dandelion root powder (or 2 cups sliced fresh dandelion root)
• 1/2 cup (60g) roasted chicory root powder
• 1/4 cup (30g) Ashwagandha root powder
• 2 tbsp (30g) ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp (5g) ground ginger (optional, for extra warmth)

Optional Additives:

• 1/4 cup (60g) honey or maple syrup (for sweetening, if desired)
• 1/4 cup (60ml) non-dairy milk (e.g., oat or almond milk, for creaminess)

Instructions

• Roast the Roots:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sliced dandelion and chicory roots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway, until fragrant and slightly darkened. Allow them to cool completely.

• Grind the Ingredients:

Once the roasted roots have cooled, transfer them to a coffee grinder or high-speed blender. Pulse until they reach a fine, powdery consistency. Sift the powder through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.

• Combine the Blend:

In a large bowl, mix together the Reishi mushroom powder, Eleuthero root powder, roasted dandelion root powder, roasted chicory root powder, Ashwagandha powder, cinnamon, and ginger (if using). Stir until well combined.

• Store the Blend:

Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dark place.

• Prepare the Tea:

For each serving, scoop 1-2 teaspoons of the blend into a tea infuser or muslin bag. Pour 8 oz (240ml) of boiling water over the herbs and let steep for 5-7 minutes. Strain and enjoy as is, or add honey, maple syrup, or non-dairy milk to taste.

Storage Instructions

• Shelf Life: Store the herbal blend in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
• Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the blend in an airtight container for up to 1 year.
• Freshness: Keep the tea bags (if using) in a sealed bag to preserve aroma and flavor.

Variations

• Spicy Version: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
• Low-Sugar Version: Omit sweeteners or use a sugar-free alternative like stevia.
• Smoky Version: Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a deeper, smokier flavor.
• Vegan Version: Use plant-based milk and vegan sweeteners.

Special Equipment

• Coffee grinder or high-speed blender
• Tea infuser or muslin bags
• Airtight storage container

Pro Tips

• Roasting Enhances Flavor: Roasting the roots before grinding brings out a deeper, richer flavor reminiscent of French Roast coffee.
• Adjust to Taste: Start with smaller amounts and adjust the proportions of each ingredient based on your preferences.
• Brewing Temperature: Use water just below boiling point (around 200°F or 93°C) to prevent burning the herbs and ensure optimal extraction.
