Chaga tea has recently become a hit on TikTok as the newest wellness drink. As people are getting more and more interested in natural drinks and remedies, the recipe for this tea is gaining a lot of attention. Let’s talk about what chaga tea is and how you can make it at home.
What Is Chaga Tea?
Chaga is actually a type of mushroom found on the bark of birch trees. It usually grows in countries with cold climates like Russia and Eastern Europe. People have been using it to heal illnesses for centuries as it boosts the immune system. They used to let the mushrooms sit in hot water for hours and then drink the tea. Nowadays, the mushrooms are dried and turned into a powder.
So why is chaga tea so popular? Well, it turns out it has a lot of health benefits, like lowering inflammation, balancing blood sugar, improving cholesterol, and fending off colds. It’s rich in antioxidants and promotes stable glucose levels, as well as lowering “bad” LDL cholesterol and giving the immune system a boost.
How to Make Chaga Tea
The tea’s flavor might be quite strong for some people. That’s why we recommend pairing it with another flavor, such as ground cinnamon, cardamom, or cocoa powder. Regardless, chaga tea is easy to make.
If you’re using powdered chaga, add a teaspoon of the powder to 8 ounces of hot water. Stir and add your spices of choice. If you’re using tea bags, steep one teabag in 8 ounces of hot water. Leave it there for about 15 minutes, stir in your favorite spices, and enjoy.
Here’s What the Guy From the ‘Bad Luck Brian’ Meme Is Doing Now
When something bad happens to you, you either cry, get angry, or share the Bad Luck Brian meme. People around the world recognize the signature sweater vest, strawberry blonde hair, and braces. The Bad Luck Brian image is usually used to describe an unfortunate series of events. Find out where this legend is today!
How the Meme Was Born
Brian, who has been through so much, doesn’t actually exist. This is an actual image of Kyle Craven from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. He was in his 20s when a friend shared his old school photo on Reddit. This is how the iconic meme was born. With social media, the image quickly went viral.
Despite the ironic feel of the image, Kyle says that this wasn’t how he actually looked in his everyday life. He was known as the class clown and wanted to take a memorable school picture. This is why he went to a thrift shop to buy the now-iconic sweater vest. He rubbed his face to make it red on purpose and then pulled a big smile for the camera. The picture didn’t make it into the yearbook, but he scanned it anyway to ensure it wouldn’t be lost forever.
How Kyle Changed Throughout the Years
Now, you may be wondering what’s happening in Kyle’s life. He no longer has braces, and he is currently working as Vice President at Craven Construction Company after finishing college with a Construction Management degree. He has also adopted a dog and got married.
Unlike his meme, Kyle says he actually has “great luck,” and we’re not surprised when looking at his success. He holds no regrets for the meme and considers Bad Luck Brian a “blessing.” He said, “I’ve had an extremely charmed life, and I am the luckiest guy I know.”
