If you follow psychedelic news, chances are you have heard of mushroom tea. This beverage can be made by steeping various varieties of mushrooms–from magic mushrooms to reishi and chaga–in hot water to create a beverage used for microdosing or health benefits. Common methods for doing so involve dried psilocybin mushrooms; however liquid extracts or powdered fungus powder can also be used; to get optimal results it’s important to start slowly before gradually increasing dosage over time.

Mushroom tea is a great option for those who appreciate the effects of psilocybin but don’t necessarily feel comfortable ingesting whole mushrooms. By creating mushroom tea instead, individuals can experience all of its benefits without the risk of indulging in unripe, contaminated or improperly cooked mushrooms and reduce nausea as well as side effects associated with raw mushroom consumption.

Mushroom tea offers another distinct advantage over eating whole or processed mushroom products like chocolate bars or gummies: its effects can often take effect more rapidly. Psilocybin in mushroom tea enters your stomach more evenly than that found in eating whole fungus; typically taking effect within 30 minutes or less (depending on metabolic and environmental factors).

Though mushroom tea often causes faster effects than other methods, it’s wise to wait at least an hour before taking more psilocybin – as your body will metabolize it more quickly when taken as tea than from whole mushrooms – otherwise overdoing it could result in unpleasant experiences.

Make mushroom tea the easy and precise way. Grind dried mushrooms into powder form before mixing with hot water for optimal liquid extract creation. This approach offers precise dosing that’s suitable for microdosing. Or make tinctures by soaking the mushrooms in high proof alcohol – these tinctures offer more controlled dosing experience and should also be taken in small doses for microdosing purposes.

Finally, mushroom tea can be made by combining various fungus varieties with herbs, fruits, spices or vegetables in order to both add flavor and reduce its potency. Mushroom tea can be tailored to fit every dietary preference and level of tolerance. Lemon or lime juice can add zest, while apple cider vinegar helps combat nausea. Thus making mushroom tea an accessible solution suitable for everyone. Mushroom tea can also be taken during the day to reduce anxiety and depression while supporting an immune-system boost. Athletes have even used it as an aid for recovery and increased energy levels – according to one study regular users reported enhanced focus and concentration as well as lower stress levels and greater immune support from regularly drinking this beverage.
