Mushroom tea has quickly become one of the latest wellness and natural medicine trends, thanks to its incredible health benefits, from relieving anxiety to improving cognitive performance. No wonder celebrity advocates like Gwyneth Paltrow and Mischa Barton love it so much!

Mushroom tea is an earthy beverage prepared with edible mushroom varieties that is combined with other herbs, spices, or ingredients for an unforgettable taste experience. As the mushrooms simmer in boiling water they release their earthy flavors and medicinal benefits into the beverage, creating a truly sensory drinking experience.

When making your own fungi tea, it’s essential to remember that hot water can destroy psychoactive compounds found in mushrooms, leading to your tea losing potency over time. Therefore, it’s necessary to let it brew for the recommended period.

For optimal results when adding psilocybin mushrooms to tea, it is essential that they be ground into a fine powder before being added to boiling water. This ensures the compounds dissolve more readily while protecting them from being destroyed by heat of boiling water. You can do this using either a coffee grinder or by cutting up dried mushroom pieces using a knife.

Once your mushrooms have steeped for 15-20 minutes in boiling water, remove from the stove and allow the liquid to cool before adding additional ingredients, such as lemon peels, garlic cloves, honey or herbal extracts. After cooling completely, strain through a sieve or coffee filter into your drinking container of choice and store your mushroom tea in the fridge to keep it fresh!

Although your tea may take time to work its full effects, it’s essential that you savor every delicious sip slowly so you can fully appreciate every herb or spice included in your cup. Some experts advise taking breaks between sipping to allow greater control of its intensity; alternatively it would be wiser to choose an isolated location where you can focus solely on enjoying your experience.

Some mushroom tea recipes involve the combination of different mushroom types that can produce an impressive synergistic effect on both body and mind. Reishi can reduce anxiety while lion’s mane provides energy and focus. Cordyceps is another popular ingredient found in these types of teas as it can boost energy levels while reishi provides endurance and calm. These blends offer the best of both worlds by providing both relaxation and physical energy boost – offering both at once. There are endless combinations available so anyone looking for mushroom-inspired tea will find exactly what suits them best!
