Medicinal mushrooms may be best known for their hallucinogenic effects, but there’s an entire world of mushrooms with medicinal benefits without altering mental states. This article will show you how to create mushroom tea using various species such as Reishi, Chaga and Turkey Tail mushrooms.

Mushroom tea is a beverage created by steeping medicinal mushrooms in hot water to extract the beneficial compounds, infusing them into the liquid and flavoring the beverage with these components. Mushroom tea is often combined with other herbs and spices such as mint to enhance its flavor while providing additional health benefits – mint helps digestion while providing cooling sensations; cinnamon provides warmth while offering anti-inflammatory benefits; while turmeric acts both an anti-inflammatory agent as well as enhancing absorption of other medicinal components within its formula.

For mushroom tea, heat two cups of water slowly in a small pot before finely chopping or grinding dried mushrooms into powder and adding it along with an optional tea bag (or multiple bags) into the simmering mixture. Allow it to simmer gently for approximately 10 minutes before taking it off the heat to allow it to cool slightly before straining and pouring it into your favorite mug or cup; sweeten if desired with honey or agave syrup to taste.

As your tea steeps longer, the stronger it becomes. To achieve optimal results, let it steep for at least 20 minutes before drinking it – or, alternatively, purchase pre-steeped mushroom tea bags to enjoy straightaway.

No matter the preparation method of your tea, it’s essential to remember that mushrooms contain alkaloids which may produce adverse side effects depending on your individual sensitivity and dosage. The most effective way to minimize any potential discomfort or nausea caused by mushroom use is gradually increasing your dose over time; starting low dose will allow your body to adjust while also minimising any discomfort or nausea associated with it.
