mushroom teas have become an increasingly popular way of intaking psilocybin mushrooms, providing both morning-starting wake-ups and relaxing evening beverages alike with their effects. Boasting no chemical effects themselves, mushroom teas provide a convenient way of experiencing their therapeutic qualities without needing to swallow whole mushrooms whole; but do they lose any of their potency with each infusion?

Many factors affect how quickly the psilocybin in your mushroom tea takes to take effect, including your body size and consumption frequency of shrooms. Your digestive tract also plays an important role, with certain stomach types taking longer for these compounds to enter the bloodstream and start working than others.

Some individuals are nervous to try mushroom tea for fear it will lose its potency as the mushrooms steep, yet this misconception is untrue; the psilocybin present in herbal mixtures does not dissipate when you steep them in hot water; rather it passes through their skin into the liquid, much like how a pill dissolves in your stomach’s digestive system.

To maintain optimal strength of psilocybin, store dried mushrooms properly prior to brewing them into tea. This means placing the dried mushrooms in an airtight container and keeping them away from direct sunlight, while labeling the container with its strain and preparation date to help you ensure consistent dosing over time.

If you want to maximize the potency of your mushroom tea, adding additional lemon will speed up its extraction process and help psylocin separate from other parts of the mushroom to be fully absorbed by water. Don Quixote suggests boiling lemon juice in hot water to maximize its extractive power.

An additional factor influencing the start and peak time of mushroom tea is how quickly you take a dose. Drinking faster means more psilocybin will enter your bloodstream quicker, starting its effects sooner; but beware as too much psilocybin at once can have serious adverse reactions that could even prove dangerous for bodily wellbeing.

To avoid this, it’s essential that you savor and sip slowly when sipping mushroom tea. Doing this allows your body to digest it correctly. Furthermore, adding stimulants like caffeine may hasten its effects more rapidly; this will also keep you conscious and prevent any potentially bad trips from taking place. Just be wary – too much caffeine may cause dizziness and jitters; therefore many prefer non-caffeinated herbal or chamomile tea for smooth effects.
