The title pretty much says it folks. This listing is for 2 dried ounces of birch polypore (Fomitopsis Betulina) .
Birch polypore has been used for centuries for many things including (but not limited to)
What a crazy smart way to improve your health!
Now, if you have never made tea from a birch polypore before, you should know the taste is less than amazing. It can actually be quite bitter, so I don't recommend using it without other tea ingredients. You can mix it with a blend of chaga to help cut the bitterness. You can add other flavors as well. Eucalyptus and honey pair really well with birch polypore. It's up to your individual taste preferences.
For your tea:
Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to let it simmer again for 15-20 minutes. Make sure you do not simmer for long as this may make the tea even more bitter.
You can drink the birch polypore tea right away or refrigerate it for later use. It can also be frozen into ice cubes, making a perfect cup of iced mushroom teas or even fruit smoothies.
