How to Magic Mushroom Tea
Psychedelic mushrooms have long been an object of fascination and intrigue. With their psychoactive properties and potential health benefits, these exotic organisms are increasingly being utilized as part of various wellness rituals. One popular method is mushroom tea–also known as myco-tea or psilocybin tea–an intoxicating blend that blends the earthy essence of psilocybin-rich fungi with soothing herbal preparation techniques to create this unique brew. If you’re curious or just starting out on this unique journey, this guide can help make your magic mushroom tea!
How to Prepare Psilocybin-Rich Mushroom Tea In order to craft an exquisite cup of psilocybin-rich mushroom tea, you will require:
Mushrooms (Psilocybe cubensis)
Dried magic mushrooms are often the easiest and most convenient way to consume magic mushrooms, making storage and transport much simpler than fresh specimens. Dried mushrooms can be found almost anywhere from groceries and natural food stores to cannabis shops. If you want to make your own psilocybin mushroom tea, begin by finely chopping or grinding your shrooms; smaller pieces provide greater surface area which leads to stronger infusion.
Once your mushrooms have been finely chopped or ground, heat up a kettle or pot of water until its temperature reaches 70oC. Temperatures higher than this will damage psilocybin compounds found within the mushrooms, potentially rendering them unusable for consumption.
Next, combine your psilocybin-rich mushrooms with hot water and allow them to steep for approximately 20 minutes. Some people find adding tea or lemon juice can help ease any nausea during their trip; similarly, this method of making magic mushroom capsules speeds up conversion of their psilocin and speeds up their breakdown and conversion processes faster.
Psychonauts may still prefer eating mushrooms directly, or taking mushroom capsules; however, making tea has become an increasingly popular alternative as its benefits include less nausea and easier dosing control – this is especially useful for microdosers as it’s sometimes difficult to accurately measure smaller doses by mouth.
Mushroom tea offers another distinct advantage compared to its counterparts: you can drink it before, during or after eating to decrease the time taken for its effects to kick in. This is particularly important for beginners looking for their first trip experience as the initial waves of psilocybin to reach your brain can take time before producing desired effects.
Psilocybin tea offers several advantages, including being re-brewed multiple times; although its effects may not last as long with each successive infusion. Please keep in mind that how long its effects last will depend on factors like dosage, individual metabolism and species/strain of magic mushroom used; to get the most from magic mushroom tea usage it’s recommended that anyone interested in trying it consult a medical professional about its possible risks and effects prior to beginning their experimentation with it.
