Mushroom tea has grown increasingly popular over time, yet many remain unfamiliar with how to prepare it. Here we outline all of the steps needed for creating this tasty and potency beverage.

We will also cover what to expect from a magic mushroom tea trip, how long it lasts, and the factors that impact its duration. This guide is for anyone wanting to experience all the effects of psilocybin mushrooms fully.

Magic mushrooms are natural fungi with psychotropic properties that can be found all around the world, found both indoors and outdoors. Because these hallucinogenic drugs can produce profound shifts in perception, mood and consciousness changes it is wise to consume only those grown under controlled environments and inspected by professionals as it’s easy to mistake harmful mushrooms for magic ones when sampling in nature.

One man in Switzerland recently experienced a mushroom overdose when he consumed an incorrect strain of fungi while making mushroom tea for himself at home. His liver and kidneys suffered, forcing hospitalization as doctors administered antibiotics and antifungal medication to clear his system. Their doctors warned that his experience could have been much worse had he not been properly prepared before taking the mushrooms.

Setting and environment of a magic mushroom trip are among the key factors affecting its duration, intensity, and impact. These variables include an individual’s mental/emotional state prior to their trip; their relationship with its setting; any outside influences they may encounter during it; any difficulties experiencing visuals and emotional shifts during it. Therefore having an experienced guide ensures a pleasant journey.

How a person consumes mushrooms has an effect on its duration. Eating whole mushrooms, or including them in food products like chocolate bars and gummies, may take longer as the psilocybin must pass through one’s stomach and digestive tract before reaching their brain; this may cause nausea and vomiting for some people. By contrast, making mushroom tea allows more rapid infusion of psilocybin into their system and therefore less risk of adverse side effects such as nausea or vomiting.

When making shroom tea, one must boil water and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes while they steep the mushrooms in it. A scale and measuring cup are often useful tools in obtaining the proper dosage of mushrooms for tea making, before transferring the mixture into a mason jar to be stored in the fridge. After its creation, however, it should usually be consumed within one or two weeks; otherwise a new batch must be crafted at this point in order to maintain freshness of flavor in each sip of tea brew.
