Tea can provide the perfect psychedelic pick-me-up or energy boost in the morning or before work; mushroom tea is an easy and tasty way to consume magic mushrooms. Mushroom tea contains various mushroom species mixed with flavor enhancers like hibiscus, licorice root, chai tea and green tea that dissolve when simmered in boiling water, producing bioactive compounds both delectable and beneficial to health.

mushroom tea’s effects differ significantly from those of eating whole mushrooms, which depend on both environmental and metabolic variables, in that its absorbent tissues quickly take effect within our bodies, often much sooner than any food or tincture consumed or even any single dose of psilocybin taken at once. This phenomenon may explain why mushroom tea often becomes effective much sooner than other forms of mushroom consumption or single dose psilocybin administration.

How long it takes mushroom tea to start working depends on its ingredients and water consumption; higher potencies provide more intense experiences, while different methods are best for making it. A grinder works great for creating mushroom powder, while you could chop up mushrooms by hand with sharp knives or scissors as an alternative method. To maximize the potential of your tea, opt for high-grade mushrooms which have undergone sufficient processing that softens and removes their cell walls while not altering any psychedelic properties.

Most mushroom tea recipes utilize a ratio of one gram of mushrooms per 8 oz of water; you may adjust this ratio according to your dosing goals for either stronger or weaker effects.

Mushroom tea recipes are easily found online, yet typically require you to create it yourself. Start by heating water to approximately 70oC (180oF). This temperature has been proven optimal for extracting and preserving mushroom powder without degrading psychedelic chemicals in it. If you go above this mark, any further increases could compromise its efficacy and cause adverse side effects.

Once the water reaches this temperature, pour it over your mushrooms and herb mixture and let it steep for around 20 minutes before stirring occasionally to ensure even extraction. For optimal results, stirring should also occur from time to time for optimal extraction results.

After steeping, strain the tea and add any additional flavors you would like for your mushroom tea – such as honey to enhance its taste and absorb into your system quicker.

Your options for crafting personalized tea blends are virtually limitless when it comes to creating your own magical blends. Reishi and lion’s mane are both wonderful for relieving stress, while cordyceps is known to improve exercise performance as well as provide energy boost. Another fantastic ingredient worth adding in your blend may be chaga, known for fighting cancer and strengthening immunity systems.
