How to Make Dried Magic Mushroom Tea
Mushroom tea is a beverage created by steeping mushrooms in hot water, which releases their therapeutic compounds by breaking down chitin, an indigestible polymer found in mushrooms that makes digestion difficult for humans. Making mushrooms into tea also allows you to enhance its experience with flavorful additions like honey, ginger or lemon juice to elevate its experience further.
This article will walk you through the process of making a basic dried magic mushroom tea. Use this as a starting point and customize your tea by adding different flavors or ingredients, or enjoy as-is for an instantaneous psychedelic boost!
First, finely chop or grind your mushrooms to increase surface area for infusion. Next, bring water to a boil before turning it down to simmer. Add mushroom pieces and let steep for 10-15 minutes; however, make sure not to bring back up to full boiling as high temperatures degrade psilocybin.
Once your mushrooms have finished steeping, remove from heat and strain out any pieces left behind in the teapot. Pour your freshly made tea into a container to let it cool slightly before adding additional flavorings such as herbs. Finally, mix up your tea before serving!
Many people find drinking psilocybin mushrooms in tea to be more convenient as it conceals their earthy flavor while helping the effects of them to take effect more rapidly than eating whole. Furthermore, drinking mushrooms through tea tends to cause less stomachaches than raw consumption of mushrooms.
Making mushroom tea is simple and can be enjoyed by individuals of all skill levels. All that’s necessary to create it is a pot or kettle, strainer and the desired quantity of mushrooms. Brewing can either take place using only water or you may add honey, lemon juice or caffeinated beverages such as chai tea, green tea or black tea for additional flavors and ingredients.
When it comes to herbal tea, there is an array of choices available, such as chamomile, hibiscus or mint. Some people add non-psychoactive flavor enhancers like ginger or cinnamon for an added bit of zest!
No matter what method you use to prepare your tea, always put safety first and adhere to local laws and recommendations. A sober friend should act as an advisor if discomfort or nausea arise, while starting off slowly is recommended in order to achieve desired experiences. Ultimately, remember that magic mushrooms can be powerful substances and should only ever be consumed under supervision from an adult individual.
