How Long to Steep Magic Mushroom Tea?
No matter your reason for taking magic mushroom psilocybin mushrooms, whether it is spiritual growth, healing or opening up new perspectives on life; magic mushroom tea can provide an incredible way to open up connections to life’s mysteries. But before you dive in with this hallucinogenic experience it’s essential that you understand how to prepare it correctly; for many brewing their tea is best as it reduces stomach irritation while absorption time is faster. However, how long should one steep their tea is an important question this article explores options while giving step-by-step instructions to prepare magic mushroom tea as part of its beneficial properties.
Though mushroom extracts can be enjoyed simply with hot water, some people choose to enhance the experience by adding flavor and depth with herbal tea blends of their choosing. This practice may also reduce nausea experienced when taking magic mushrooms due to indigestible parts such as chitin. Experienced psychonauts sometimes choose brewing magic mushrooms into tea as a method of consumption.
Mushroom tea can be prepared several ways, but the ingredients most commonly associated with its creation include chamomile, hibiscus, lemon balm, thyme, nettle and passion flower – each known to work synergistically with psilocybin to provide an uplifting and mood-enhancer experience. Although any combination of herbs can be used to craft mushroom tea for consumption by those interested in psychoactive substances.
Psychoactive mushrooms are usually best consumed in powder form and mixed with liquid to create their effects, providing users with greater control of how much they take while also helping avoid nausea associated with psilocybin use. Mushroom tea usually begins taking effect within thirty to sixty minutes due to liquid passing more quickly through your digestive tract than solids do.
But for novice consumers, mushroom tea brewing at full dose can be dangerous. One recent case involved an individual who consumed three cups of mushroom tea which led to multi-organ failure and septic shock – although extremely rare. This case emphasizes the need for appropriate preparation and consumption – including starting off small doses in a safe environment before trying any psychedelic substances.
A syringe or funnel can be used to pour hot water over mushroom tea leaves and allow them to steep for around 30-60 minutes, usually in a large teapot. You may also find tea bags at most coffee shops or grocery stores for convenient on-the-go drinking.
When using a syringe or funnel, it’s essential that the hot water not be boiling hot as this can damage entheogens in mushroom powder and render them less potent. Tea should also be strained after steeping to remove solids and ensure an as-smooth as-possible brew. Furthermore, cutting mushroom powder or truffle into smaller pieces provides more surface area where psilocybin can infuse more efficiently into your body.
