Mushroom tea is a delicious drink made by steeping mushrooms in hot water. This delectable beverage has many purported health benefits, including increased energy and cognitive function. Mushrooms such as Reishi and Lion’s Mane contain adaptogenic properties as well as being considered superfoods due to the abundance of antioxidants and amino acids present.

Mushroom tea can provide an effective and healthy way to start or end their day, and to wind down before bed. While mushroom tea may have many positive benefits, its consumption may cause nausea for some individuals. If this happens to you, speak to your healthcare provider immediately as this symptom may indicate something else is going on with your body.

Making mushroom tea at home is easy: just boil and steep dried or fresh functional mushrooms in hot water until they soften before steeping them for at least 10 minutes. Or there are pre-mixed options such as powdered blends that dissolve directly into hot water; these have the added nutritional benefit of providing more of their fiber, such as those offered by MUD/WTR and Om Mushroom Superfood brands.

Mushroom tea has quickly gained in popularity among both consumers and medical professionals alike. According to studies, mushroom tea may help improve brain function, boost immunity, reduce depression/anxiety/inflammation symptoms and inflammation overall. Before adding mushroom supplements into your diet it is advisable to consult with healthcare professional; especially if existing health conditions or medications exist.

Mushroom tea may seem like an unconventional drink today, but its roots date back millennia. Siberians have traditionally added powdered chaga mushrooms to soups and stews as part of a health strategy to strengthen immunity, lower cholesterol levels and potentially protect against cancer.

To make mushroom tea, first grind the mushrooms into a fine powder to prevent any mechanical breakdown of chitin that might degrade psychoactive compound psilocybin in the process. Next, soak this powdered mushroom for 10-20 minutes in hot water to release any water-soluble compounds present.

Another way of creating mushroom tea is to boil them with honey and water in a separate pot, in order to mask their strong flavor and make your tea experience more pleasurable. Once this step has been completed, straining should take place to remove any remnants of fungi from your tea mix.

If you’re still feeling queasy, adding ginger to your mushroom tea might help. Antiemetic phytochemicals found in ginger – including zingerone and shogaol – have antiemetic effects which may reduce symptoms of nausea by binding with serotonergic 5-HT3 receptors in the brain’s serotonergic 5-HT3 receptors and cholinergic M receptors to suppress urges to vomit. You could even add an additional teaspoon of ginger powder for additional relief from nausea relief.
