Magic mushrooms have had a spectacular 2022: San Francisco and Colorado decriminalized them, tech workers are experimenting with microdosing them to enhance creativity, and investors have pledged money towards medical research. But with all this buzz surrounding psychedelics, it is still important to take them responsibly in a safe environment with sober friends by your side. One popular way of taking mushrooms is making mushroom tea; simply combine water, mushrooms, steep for 20 minutes then enjoy. Personalized recipes may add new elements into the experience such as adding other ingredients can add depth of flavour as well.

Apart from flavor and potency, several factors can impact how long a trip lasts, including tolerance, size, metabolism, form of consumption (eating or drinking), set and setting (the mental/emotional state before taking mushrooms as well as physical surroundings and situations during ingestion), etc.

When using mushrooms, their effects will often occur rapidly. For instance, when taking psilocybin – one of the main active ingredients found in mushrooms – liquid form can have immediate results due to passing through your digestive system more quickly than solids do. But heavy users could experience slower peak impacts and slower onset from taking more mushrooms at one time.

Mushrooms can also be purchased in pill and capsule form, which are often preferred by people microdosing. These forms offer discreet consumption that can easily be hidden by dissolving them in drinks or food products to mask the taste. They’re also commonly chosen by those using psilocybin as part of psychotherapeutic treatment or treating specific conditions.

No matter if they’re consumed as liquid or capsules, mushrooms take anywhere between six and 12 hours to be fully processed by your body and won’t show up in drug tests afterwards.

Magic mushroom tea may provide more health advantages than its psychoactive properties; its effects include reducing cholesterol, inflammation, improving gut microbiome and maintaining normal blood pressure levels. Furthermore, magic mushroom tea serves as an excellent source of potassium that may contribute to maintaining optimal health in blood pressure management.

Making mushroom tea is simple, yet many enthusiasts enjoy experimenting with various ingredients to find what suits their trip best. For instance, adding ginger during the steeping process can reduce nausea while adding chamomile or lemon balm can ease pre-trip jitters. For added refinement you could even combine some black or green tea. It all boils down to finding your ideal combination.
