How Hot Is Too Hot For Magic Mushroom Tea?
Are You Wondering About Mushroom Tea? For those in the know, mushroom tea offers an exquisite experience when combined with dried fungi. Psilocybin found within magic mushrooms is quickly and intensely absorbed via tea rather than eaten whole; leading to shorter trips with similar effects. Furthermore, different ingredients used can add different qualities that add intensity or decrease it depending on brewing techniques used – with longer trips being possible depending on ingredients chosen in tea brewing processes.
Tea is also an easy, portable way of taking magic mushrooms – perfect for travel and other situations when an extra boost of energy or psychedelic support might be required. According to one recent study, taking magic mushrooms in tea form may also help improve workplace productivity and creativity; particularly useful for tech workers.
Mushrooms contain powerful anti-ageing and healing properties, such as antioxidants that fight free radicals and support the body’s natural detoxification system. Even ancient cultures recognized this property long before blog posts and health books came along – mushroom tea is still part of many traditional diets!
Though mushroom tea can be made using virtually any edible, the Aztec combination of cacao and Psilocybe cubensis has proven itself as the optimal combination. Not only does this combination deliver the classic psychedelic effect from magic mushrooms’ psilocybin content, but anandamide and phenylethylamine found in cacao further augment your trip experience.
At 70 degrees Fahrenheit, brewing mushroom tea should take place. Anything higher risks destroying its psilocybin content and could damage them further. To create mushroom tea, first finely grind your mushrooms to increase surface area (we suggest using a coffee or herb grinder) then pour hot water on them for about 2-3 minutes to allow the shrooms to absorb some of it before straining and drinking your cup!
To reduce the risk of nausea, we advise adding honey or lemon juice to your tea mix. Not only will this sweeten its taste; many magic mushrooms tend to have rather bland flavors that would benefit from some sweetness in your tea!
When taking magic mushrooms, it is wise to have someone as your guide or “trip-sitter,” such as an underground therapist or close friend you trust who can provide support during any difficult parts of the experience. They can help reorient you back onto solid ground by reminding you to breathe deeply, as well as offer advice or assistance as necessary.
If you’re new to mushroom taking, we suggest starting off slowly by drinking a low dose of tea and gradually increasing it as your comfort increases. An emergency kit should also be kept handy in case any adverse side effects such as dehydration and cramping arise; we advise drinking plenty of water and eating food rich in electrolytes to mitigate these issues.
