Magic mushroom tea has long been used in ritualistic practices and altered state exploration. Eating raw mushrooms remains the primary way of taking in this substance; however, drinking magic mushroom tea provides many additional advantages, including improved taste and quicker effects onset time.

The type of mushroom used in tea preparation depends on your desired effect; Psilocybe cubensis species typically used are those containing psilocybin. No matter which variety is selected for preparation purposes, preparation methods remain similar: ground the mushrooms into fine powder so that they dissolve easily into hot water, steep for 15 minutes or longer and strain after brewing to ensure any residual mushrooms have been eliminated before serving the tea.

Making magic mushroom tea is simple enough for anyone, with only mushrooms and boiling water required as ingredients for an enjoyable drink. Honey or herbs may add additional flavors but aren’t necessary.

Start off by grinding dried mushrooms into a fine powder using either a coffee grinder, pestle and mortar or scale to ensure all psilocybin-containing compounds are released into the water and released as part of your tea brew. A scale is also recommended as this will ensure an accurate ratio between mushrooms to water so as to not exceed any maximum safe dose for any species used in your brew.

Start by boiling the water directly in your saucepan or pot, or alternatively combine ground mushrooms and tea into a mug before pouring hot water over it. You may add lemon or mint leaves if you like; they’re not necessary though! After the mushroom tea has steeped for 15-20 minutes, strain into an appropriate teapot before serving it to guests.

While magic mushroom tea can be enjoyed any time of the day, its best use may be during morning meditation and relaxation sessions. Doing this can provide a great way to start off each day with mindfulness or simply give you time to tune into yourself and your body. If you want an even stronger energy boost, combine your magic mushroom tea with Cordyceps Sinensis or Militaris for an additional dose. Mushrooms are adaptogens that help improve cognitive function, focus, memory and immune system strength – while simultaneously fighting stress. Furthermore, these adaptogens may assist with fatigue relief and depression relief. While the legality of mushrooms consumption varies by region, always prioritize safety first when purchasing or making them.
