  2. Sweeten the Tea: Once the tea is ready, strain out the Chaga mushroom pieces. Stir in the honey or maple syrup to sweeten the tea to your liking.
  3. Prepare the Milk: While the tea simmers, heat the almond milk (or milk of your choice) in a separate pan until warm but not boiling. If you prefer a frothy latte, use a whisk or milk frother to froth the milk.
