Let’s make it

1. Combine the mushroom, water, ginger and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
2. Reduce to a steady simmer, partly covered, for 20 minutes. Add a little water if needed to keep the mushrooms submerged.
3. Strain into two mugs. Add maple syrup to taste and finish with lemon. Serve warm; this is a culinary drink, with no medicinal claims.

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