Mushroom tea is not only delicious, but it is also packed with health-supportive properties. When prepared correctly, mushroom tea can help improve immunity, soothe inflammation and regulate stress levels for improved wellbeing. As such, mushroom tea has evolved beyond being just another trendy wellness trend to become an effective medical and healing aid.

As its name implies, mushroom tea is made by steeping various edible mushroom varieties in hot water for several minutes to release their beneficial compounds into the boiling liquid and into your digestive system. From there they can be utilized by your body to detoxify and enhance immune function.

Mushroom tea can be made using various methods, but one popular one involves adding dried mushrooms to hot water in a cup and simmering. They can come either chunk or powder form; for optimal results it is advised that they be ground into finer powder before use to help the body digest them more readily as well as enhance the flavor of your beverage.

Once the mushroom has been added to hot water, it is recommended to steep for at least 30 minutes so as to allow most of the psilocybin to dissolve into the liquid and enter your bloodstream where its effects can begin. Effects vary according to person but typically will begin within an hour after consumption.

Shroom tea effects generally last from three to six hours and may include visual enhancement, altered thoughts and an overall sense of wellbeing. Although these side effects are generally considered non-toxic, frequent usage could potentially cause anxiety or depression as well as psychosis in rare instances.

Mushroom tea offers several advantages over eating raw mushrooms, including reduced stomach cramps. Brewing breaks down chitin cells’ walls making it easier for our bodies to absorb active chemicals; and by diluting its potency it allows fewer mushrooms be needed for comparable effects as would otherwise be seen with raw consumption.

No matter the time of day or place in which you need a boost of relaxation or focus, or simply want a drink with an aromatherapeutic benefit – mushroom tea blends offer something suitable for every mood and event. By custom blending mushrooms to your needs and adapting its recipe accordingly, creating your very own beverage based on this beverage. Furthermore, add ingredients like cinnamon (ground or whole quills), star anise, cardamom, juniper berries or pepper to enhance its flavours and therapeutic value even further!
