What’s the best way to prepare Chaga?

What’s the best way to prepare Chaga?

Chaga is one of nature’s most grounding and powerful mushrooms — a true adaptogen for balance, resilience, and longevity. To experience its full spectrum of benefits, we recommend preparing it the slow and low way, just as it’s been done for centuries.

To Prepare (Traditional Decoction Method):

  1. Add 1–2 tablespoons of Sun Potion Chaga to about 1 quart (4 cups) of spring or filtered water.

  2. Simmer on very low heat — ideally in a slow cooker or covered pot — for 6 to 8 hours.

    • Keep the heat gentle; you want a light, steady simmer, not a boil.

  3. Once the liquid has turned a deep, dark brown, strain and enjoy warm.

  4. Store the remaining tea in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 days — gently reheat before serving.

This slow and low process allows the Chaga to release its beneficial compounds gradually, creating a mineral-rich, earthy tonic that supports deep vitality and inner calm.

Some practitioners even reuse the same Chaga grounds for a second simmer — each batch a little lighter but still full of potency and nourishment.
