Making mushroom tea is similar to making coffee; all it requires is a pot, water and heat. But with some careful attention and some basic ingredients you can turn any type of mushroom into delicious tea for elevating moods and providing relaxation. The exact flavor depends on both its source as well as your method of brewing it – feel free to add herbs or spices for additional flavors that enhance your experience!

For an ideal cup of mushroom tea, finely chopped or powdered mushrooms should be placed into a tea infuser for optimal infusion and result in a much stronger cup. A regular tea bag may also be used to achieve milder flavors or introduce additional nutrients such as turmeric, ginger, chai tea, peppermint leafs or honey into your cup.

Use another cup of boiling water to mix in any other desired flavor additives or natural supplements, such as lemon, garlic, honey or tulsi or licorice dietary herbs. It is advised to dissolve these herbs before adding them to your mushroom tea mixture; this will ensure they dissolve fully without chunks being left behind in your beverage.

Once you’ve added your chosen ingredients to the mushroom tea mixture, allow it to steep for 15-20 minutes before straining it out into a cup and enjoying!

There are various variations of mushroom tea available on the market. Many blend different mushroom varieties known to have complementary effects; for instance reishi and cordyceps can work well together to provide an energy and focus boost; other popular combinations include lion’s mane and turkey tail that enhance cognitive functions and mental clarity.

To effectively brew mushroom tea, the most essential step is not boiling too vigorously as excessively high temperatures can degrade some of the psilocybin found in mushrooms. Furthermore, allow your tea to cool a little before drinking as once absorbed by bloodstream it loses some of its effects – ideal temperature is 85deg F for mushroom tea consumption.
