This tea is super relaxing since shiitake mushrooms help remove excess salt from the body which helps balance & relax the body.  

Traditional Preparation Method

1.  Soak the dried mushroom in 1 cup of water for about 20 minutes.

2. When the mushroom is soft (or mostly soft), take it out of the soaking water (save the water), remove the stem & discard.

3. Slice the mushroom cap or chop finely. 

4. Place the soaking water & mushroom cap pieces into a sauce pan, bring to a boil.

5. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.

6. Add a pinch of sea salt towards the end.

On the Go Preparation Method (or the easy-peasy method)
