I’ve made it from fresh Chaga I found in the forest. I doubt the health benefits since I still got a cold a month into drinking the stuff.

One never knows,eh?

Btw it doesn’t taste good. Not “bad” but not even close to good lol

Drinking it once is not gonna do it. Everyday. However, health benefits are not verified through study.

It doesn’t taste good enough to drink every day.

Does it taste good enough to maintain your health?

Nope! It tastes like...hmmm...

Like sucking on a piece of plywood.

Just had some. BOiled it then put in a thermos to brew. Made my coffee with it. Not bad

Good for you!

In retrospect I think I’d describe the taste as “curious”.

I had Chaga at an Indian Restaurant, it was very sweet.

I know that Indians like it sweet, too sweet for my taste.

I discovered that boiling in water will not extract some important health benefits. You need to steep chaga in alcohol. So, I put used chagra tea in vodka along with some new chagra and a jalapeno pepper . In a few weeks I will have a hot healthy vodka to drink .

I wonder if the health benefits of chagra balance the negatives of alchohol ?
