I was lucky enough to find some reishi 🍄, also known as the mushroom of immortality, while out foraging, so let’s make some dual extract tincture out of it!

There’s a more detailed description of this process in the description of the full length version of this video, but here’s an overview:

Start by chopping the reishi into ¼ inch slices and dehydrating them at 135 degrees F for 6-10 hours. The slices should snap like chalk once dehydrated, so if there’s any bend whatsoever, toss ‘em back in.

Next, process the dried reishi into a powder using a blender and add it to a jar. We’ll then pour high proof alcohol into the jar until it covers the powder by around 1 inch.

Let the mushroom material soak in the jar for 2-4 weeks, shaking daily. After this time, you can strain out the mushroom material, leaving behind our alcohol extraction.

Next, we’ll do a hot water decoction to extract the compounds that were left behind by the alcohol extraction.

Add the mushroom material we strained out of the alcohol extraction into a slow cooker along with 3-4 times the water as the volume of alcohol extraction you have.

After heating, let the water decoction cool down, then strain it the same way as the alcohol extraction.

The only step remaining is then to mix together your alcohol and water extractions in a ratio that results in around 30% abv, and your dual extract tincture is done!

I recommend doing your own research about the medicinal properties of reishi, but in general, it promotes calm and relaxation. I use this tincture by taking 2-4 droppers full (2-4 mL) in the evening or before bed.
