How Do U Make Magic Mushroom Tea?
As one of the more traditional ways of taking psychedelic edibles is through tea. Mixing psilocybin-containing mushrooms with herbal tea creates a delicious and easy-to-digest concoction that many enthusiasts swear by. From an energy boost in the morning or relaxation in the evening, mushroom tea can help bring pink elephants frolicking around your living room to Shakespeare getting stuck in your head – whatever mood strikes!
To make mushroom tea, all that’s necessary are some psilocybin-containing magic mushrooms and your preferred herbal blend. The process itself is straightforward: grind up the mushrooms into powder before steeping them for 20 minutes in hot water. While this method might not be as quick or convenient than simply cutting up caps and spreading them on toast, it provides more precise control. You can add flavor with ginger tea, lemon juice or honey for an enhanced experience.
As much as capsules may be convenient and mess-free ways of consuming magic mushrooms, for those seeking a more controlled dosing option that doesn’t involve dealing with messy capsules, creating your own tea can be an ideal alternative. Though this type of tea works best when microdosing; careful weighing and measuring procedures must be adhered to ensure accurate dosage levels.
When making magic mushroom tea at home, cutting the mushrooms into small pieces is recommended to increase surface area and allow psilocybin to more quickly infuse into your tea. You must be wary when selecting herbal blends as certain ones contain chemicals which could interfere with or cause unwanted side effects of psilocybin experiences or cause unwanted side effects.
Aztecs historically were known for enjoying Teonanacatl, a beverage comprised of psilocybe cubensis and cacao. Some believe combining magic mushroom with cacao may block MAOIs in your body, leading to stronger and longer-acting effects of the psilocybin, but this experience could last six hours or longer!
Journal of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry recently reported on an alarming and potentially life-threatening case involving an individual who made his own mushroom tea at home and consumed it to treat bipolar disorder with tea containing Psilocybe cubensis fungi, potentially growing Psilocybe cubensis in his bloodstream. After being brought to hospital by family members after becoming increasingly disoriented after taking it himself, testing revealed this Psilocybe growth had become life threatening!
To help prevent such misfortune, it’s wise to utilize a reliable guide when making tea with mushrooms. A great guide will tell you exactly how much psilocybin to add and the appropriate liquid amount needed in order to achieve desired effects; additionally they should explain possible visuals or effects (for instance a typical trip will often lead to an altered sense of time and space as well as vivid visions and hallucinations), so always be prepared for whatever may come your way and embrace the journey consciously.
