Mushroom tea comes in many varieties. Some use mixtures of Reishi and Cordyceps mushrooms for an energy boost that brings mental clarity as well as physical endurance.

How to Make Mushroom Tea
Mushroom tea is an engaging and easy way to consume psilocybin, offering faster-acting results than eating mushrooms and less risk of stomach discomfort. Brewing mushroom tea requires just a few essential supplies; just follow this guideline on how to do it correctly!
Before you make a brew, it is essential to properly clean and prepare the mushrooms. This step is particularly critical for psilocybin mushrooms which should be carefully brushed before being ground into fine powder to help it dissolve more readily into water and produce stronger effects.
Once your mushrooms have been thoroughly prepared, the next step should be heating the water. You’ll require a pot or kettle large enough to contain your amount of water while also having on hand either a strainer or cheesecloth for straining purposes later.
Once your water has come to a boil, it’s time to add the mushrooms. Either stir them directly into the hot water or use a tea infuser – however you add your mushrooms will depend on how strong you want your tea – typically an eighth of a psilocybin mushroom such as Panaeolus cyanescens or Copelandia cyanescens is sufficient for one cup.
As with other teas, mushroom tea lends itself well to customization by incorporating herbs or ingredients such as spices into it. Doing this allows you to customize the experience while covering up the earthy mushroom flavor – experiment until you find what best suits your palate – just be careful that anything containing caffeine does not interfere with its effects!
Once your mushrooms have steeped, it’s time to strain out any excess water and get your magical tea! Just remember to drink responsibly – your experience might last longer than with traditional cups of tea, and drinking all at once may be more effective.
Preparation
Mushroom tea is an enjoyable way to consume mushrooms as it provides a microdose with all of the same effects. Brewing this beverage requires little time or effort and you can add different varieties or blends of mushrooms for an aromatic experience, or add flavoring elements such as berries, ginger or honey for more antioxidant power.
Start by boiling your desired water source – either in a pot, saucepan or kettle – before pouring it over ground or dried mushrooms to steep for approximately 20 minutes – adding tea bags can enhance its taste further if you wish! When steeping is finished strain your tea to remove any remains.
Once your mushroom tea is made, you can either enjoy it as you would any cup of coffee or tea or take a small sip to experience its unique effects on body and mind. Although the results of mushroom tea can differ between individuals, most often its effects are both relaxing and stimulating at the same time; some even experience visions or other psychedelic effects associated with certain mushrooms like Psilocin.
Mushroom tea offers many advantages over other forms of herbal infusion, with its versatility making it more delicious than ever. Some people enjoy mixing reishi mushrooms with cordyceps for its stimulating and soothing properties while the calming properties of reishi help balance this out. Others might add lion’s mane for durability and steadiness while elevating mood and energy while providing durability and steadiness to their bodies. Whenever adding mushrooms to a tea, it is important to accurately measure dosage to avoid overdose or experiencing negative side effects such as nausea or dizziness from overdosing on mushrooms! When measuring dosage make sure it accurately.
Steeping
Mushroom tea is an infusion of one or more mushroom varieties infused into hot water, infusing their medicinal and nutritional properties into it for an intoxicating beverage that not only tastes good but supports overall wellness and health.
For optimal mushroom tea results, select an ethically harvested, dried and powdered variety that is safe for human consumption from either an online supplier or local natural medicine shop. Once you have your mushroom of choice in hand, use a pot or kettle to heat water before pouring it into a cup or mug for consumption – along with strainer or cheesecloth as necessary to assist with straining process.
While any psilocybin mushroom can be used for tea, it’s essential that the amount you select based on your desired effects. We advise starting out small; for beginners we suggest beginning with one eighth of a mushroom serving mixed in two cups of water and increasing it over time as your experience develops.
Once your mushroom has been added to water, it is important to let it steep for several minutes so the effects can begin. The amount of time will depend on both its type and your tolerance level; additionally, mixing will ensure all pieces of mushroom dissolve into an even solution.
At this step, it’s possible to add other ingredients for added flavor – lemon peels, ginger or honey can help mask any earthy notes present in mushroom tea.
An alternative way of creating mushroom tea is purchasing teas or products containing extracted mushrooms, although this method tends to be less effective. While it might provide quick relief, brewing mushroom tea yourself allows more control over both its quality and strength brew.
Serving
Brewing mushroom tea can be both enjoyable and therapeutic; even novices can easily do it at home. From morning wake-ups to relaxing evening soaks, mushroom tea provides the ideal way to wake up or unwind!
As with any tea preparation, mushroom tea requires boiling a certain amount of water until it reaches boiling point – this ensures it activates the psilocybin present in mushrooms and allows for proper infusion time. Once hot enough, pour it over your mushrooms and allow it to steep for 10-15 minutes before straining out and serving!
While mushroom tea can be enjoyed without adding anything additional, some people enjoy adding extra ingredients or flavors for extra enjoyment. This could include spices, herbs or natural sweeteners. This helps mask the earthy taste of mushrooms while adding depth of flavor. Many find adding a splash of milk helps soften its harsher notes.
Option two for mushroom tea preparation is using pre-packed sachets or bags. There are numerous different varieties, including green, rooibos and chai sachets; making brewing mushroom tea at home quick and convenient! Mushroom tea bags may also provide an easy option if time constraints prevent making their own tea from scratch.
As a beginner to psychedelic mushrooms, it is wise to consult a qualified guide prior to attempting to brew your own tea from psilocybin-containing mushrooms in a sachet or bag. Furthermore, it is vitally important that all necessary safety precautions be observed when preparing and drinking mushroom tea in order to avoid any negative side effects; with careful preparation you could soon be on your way to enjoying delicious cup that can enhance both mental health and energy levels!
