Chaga decoction: multi-purpose beverage

Les Mauvaises Herbes

In stores, chaga is sold as powder or chunks. To get the most benefits from it, you need to make a gentle decoction, meaning heat it in water on the lowest heat to get a barely simmering broth. You can use this decoction to make soup broth, chagaccino, hot chagalat, chaga chai, and more. Sky is the limit!

Ingredients

  • 22.5 ml (1 ½ tbsp) or 10 g of wild chaga powder* (Make sure it was harvested responsibly! Check the FAQ about this.)
  • 1 liter (4 cups) of water

*If you use wild chaga chunks, you'll need 14 g per liter of water instead to get the ideal concentration.

PRO TIP: Depending on how you use it, you can double, triple or quadruple the recipe! You can always make a big batch and freeze some for later use.

Preparation steps

1- Heat the chaga powder in simmering (not boiling!) water on the lowest heat for one hour.*

2- Strain. Keeps in the fridge for 1 week and in the freezer for several months.

* If you use chaga chunks, the decoction takes longer and should ideally last two to three hours.
