How Long Should You Steep Mushroom Tea?
Medicinal mushrooms such as chaga, reishi, turkey tail and cordyceps have long been used as adaptogens to help the body cope with stress and restore balance. But many don’t realize you can also take these mushrooms in tea form!
Mushroom tea provides an easy and delicious way to experience the magic of these herbs. By following a few easy steps, you can easily craft your own at home to enjoy. In this article we’ll offer some suggestions as to how long should be spent steeping mushroom tea brew.
Preparing mushroom tea is an effortless, straightforward process that only requires the basic supplies. These include dried or fresh psilocybin mushrooms, water to boil in, and a strainer to separate out any chunks from your tea. For an enhanced experience and taste you could add ginger or honey for additional taste enhancement and effect.
First, chop up and place psilocybin mushrooms into boiling water in order to accelerate their breakdown and release psilocybin faster. Be wary of overcooking as this may deplete their medicinal qualities or become toxic, thus ruining any medicinal effects they might provide.
Once your mushrooms have been chopped up, simmering them in water will take just minutes – the length of time depends entirely upon how strong of a tea you want it to be! But keep in mind that longer simmer times produce stronger effects; so experiment and find what works for you.
After some time has passed, you should switch off the heat and allow your tea to cool before straining out any remaining mushrooms and serving your beverage. If there’s more tea than can be consumed quickly in one sitting, keep it stored in an airtight glass jar in the fridge – but make sure it remains sealed so as to avoid picking up flavors from nearby refrigerators!
Lemon juice can also help improve the flavor of mushroom tea, providing additional relief from any nausea associated with Psilocybin use. Lemons help break down chitin in mushrooms to ease stomach discomfort associated with eating these little guys.
By practicing and creating tea that not only tastes good but provides an energy boost and relieves day-to-day stresses, you’re bound to discover something you enjoy! Don’t be intimidated by trying different techniques and recipes – just ensure safety is prioritized while using these substances responsibly!
