As more and more people discover the incredible mind-expanding power of psychedelic mushrooms, making mushroom tea has become increasingly popular as a way to enjoy their benefits without experiencing their “tripping” effects in raw form. Unfortunately, however, over-steeping may result in unpleasant side effects like stomachache.

To avoid this situation, it’s essential that when making mushroom tea you follow several key steps that will maximize the experience. First off, ensure your mushrooms are prepared by cutting or dissolving into powder form in hot water until you can simmer. Next step should be straining out only tea leaves into another cup for consumption and adding any desired tea flavors or lemon juice to mask their earthy taste and speed up psychedelic effects faster.

Add honey or ginger for extra flavor when enjoying tea; both ingredients have been shown to aid digestion after eating mushrooms, boost energy levels and add an extra dose of antioxidants against free radical damage which causes premature aging.

There are various varieties of tea that utilize different mushrooms for added flavors and effects, including Reishi and Cordyceps to relax and energise, or Lion’s Mane to enhance concentration and memory. No matter which variety is chosen, they all aim to improve health by strengthening immunity against oxidative stress while fighting free radical damage.

Brewing mushroom tea over eating them directly is particularly advantageous because it does not have as great an impact on digestion – something which may prove particularly helpful for people with sensitive stomachs or difficulty processing high-fat foods such as meat.

Brewing mushroom tea offers another significant advantage: dosing control. While one gram of raw mushrooms can produce intense psychedelic effects, most cups of mushroom tea typically contain less than one gram and should produce milder visual effects, like brighter colors or an overall sense of calm. This makes finding an appropriate dose easier – something often associated with mushrooms!
