Step 1

Fill a jar halfway with dried mushrooms.

Step 2

Fill jar with alcohol, making sure that it completely covers the mushrooms, but leave about a ½ inch space at the top of the jar.

Step 3

Let it sit for a month. Shake daily.

Step 4

After a month, strain mushroom-infused alcohol into another jar and set aside.

Step 5

Next, make a water extract by bringing a half gallon of water to a simmer in a stock pot. Add the mushrooms from the alcohol extract to the simmering water.

Step 6

Simmer the mushrooms for about 2 hours, until the water has reduced to approximately 8-16 ounces. Make sure to keep an eye on the water level, as you don’t want it to completely evaporate. You may need to add water to the stock pot throughout the process.

Step 7

Let it cool.

Step 8

Strain and compost the mushrooms, reserving the mushroom-infused water.

Step 9

Combine the water extract with the alcohol extract.
