To make a dual extracted tincture from dehydrated lion’s mane mushrooms, you’ll need:
Ingredients:
1. Dehydrated lion’s mane mushrooms
2. High-proof alcohol (such as vodka or grain alcohol)
3. Distilled water
Steps:
1. Rehydrate the mushrooms: Place the dehydrated lion’s mane mushrooms in a bowl and cover them with distilled water. Let them soak for about 15-20 minutes until they become plump and rehydrated.
2. Drain and dry: After the mushrooms are rehydrated, drain them and gently squeeze out excess water. Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
3. Prepare alcohol extraction: Place the rehydrated mushrooms in a clean glass jar. Pour enough alcohol over the mushrooms to completely cover them. Seal the jar tightly.
4. Alcohol extraction: Store the sealed jar in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, shaking it gently every day to agitate the mixture. This process allows the alcohol to extract the medicinal compounds from the mushrooms.
5. Water extraction: After 2 weeks, strain the alcohol from the mushrooms using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into another clean glass jar. Press down on the mushrooms to extract as much liquid as possible.
6. Prepare water extraction: Place the alcohol-soaked mushrooms back into the original jar and cover them with distilled water. Seal the jar tightly.
7. Water extraction process: Store the jar with the mushrooms and water in a cool, dark place for another 2 weeks, shaking it gently every day to agitate the mixture. This allows the water to extract additional beneficial compounds from the mushrooms.
