Mushroom tea has quickly become one of the newest and trendiest ways to utilize mushrooms. Made from just three ingredients, mushroom tea can help boost energy levels while improving overall health and wellness. Some benefits of mushroom tea may include enhanced immune function, improved focus and decreased anxiety; many people also make drinking mushroom tea part of their daily routine to promote wellbeing and decrease anxiety levels.

As with any culinary endeavor, mushroom tea preparation requires certain considerations and side effects are possible. To prevent an adverse experience from mushroom tea consumption, follow proper dosage guidelines at home when making it. Also if taking higher doses is desired, always use recommended amounts of mushrooms when creating your tea blend.

First, prepare the mushrooms by cutting or grinding into small pieces or powder. Next, heat water. When it has reached a rolling boil, add mushrooms and turn down heat until simmering has occurred – the longer you allow your tea to steep, the stronger it will be!

If you’re using medicinal mushrooms like psilocybin or lion’s mane to make tea, grinding into a fine powder before infusing can help increase surface area for faster absorption of your elixir. Customizing your tea by adding spices, herbs or flavor enhancers is another great way to maximize its effectiveness and gain maximum benefit from each cup of java.

Some prefer their tea hot, while others enjoy it cold. Both options have their own advantages and can be equally enjoyable. Keep in mind that heating mushrooms condenses and concentrates their effects, so when making your tea it may be beneficial to use a smaller dose than usual.

As with anything new, starting slowly is best when starting mushroom consumption. Since mushroom tea can easily lead to overdose, make sure that only the amount prescribed by either your physician or manufacturer is consumed.

There are mushroom tea recipes all over the Internet, but it’s essential that you experiment and find what works for you. Some people add in extra superfood elements and spices like cinnamon, turmeric, ginger or cayenne pepper for their perfect cup of tea!
