I have a friend that told me about this and said she'd give me a culture. That was a year ago. Recently I reunited with a high school buddy and her Mom handed me the book on one of my visits. She grew it back then. Then Adam asks about it. Well, yesterday I went to some friends house to exchange gifts, and I also got a culture. Now I'm in deep, and should probably read the book. :laugh: :whistle: I know this has been around a long time. Just wondering who's grown these and drank the tea. I know there are a few hippies around here. :)

    Molly, I actually used to drink that stuff. In the 90's it was all the rage for weight loss and health. I couldn't take, the taste was horrible. I'll keep my chubby parts thank you!

    I tried some yesterday that they had brewed. It was good, and I don't do mushrooms.

    That is the culture, or mushroom. It's the juice that you strain and drink. There is more involved also.
    What is chaga?

    it is a fungus that grows on trees very rare but you can find it. As a fungus it is in the mushroom family.
    there is tons of info on it on you tube

    I've eaten stuff that'll make a billy goat puke, and I ain't so sure I'd put that in my mouth. Unless there was a substantial sum of cash involved.

    Oh my goodness - I hope someone is able to help you, I just don't know a thing about it. I really don't drink any tea except sweetened, iced, tea. (It's a southern thing I'm sure). Good Luck Molly.
