Allergen notes: No standard major allergens in the listed ingredients; check individual sensitivities.

Let’s make it

1. Combine mushrooms, water and thyme. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes until the mushrooms are fully cooked.
2. Remove from the heat. If using black tea, steep the bag for 2 minutes and remove; do not boil the tea bag.
3. Strain, add lemon and a little salt, and pour into mugs. The optional black tea contains caffeine.

Use trusted cultivated mushrooms and cook thoroughly. These are culinary recipes, not health treatments. Never use foraged mushrooms.
