How to Do Mushroom Tea at Home
Tea is the ultimate combination of magic and wellness, whether as an afternoon boost, morning wake-up drink or nighttime relaxant. Mushroom teas contain adaptogens – naturally occurring compounds found within mushrooms which help the body cope with stress by creating balance in your system – which have many other health benefits as well. Following our easy instructions will allow you to create your own potent mushroom tea at home!
First, prepare the mushrooms. For optimal results, grind psilocybin mushrooms into a powder before beginning cooking with them; this will enable more easily dissolving psilocybin into water. Next, heat water to boiling; you will want about one cup for every serving of tea you plan to create.
Once your water is boiling, combine your mushrooms with it and simmer the tea for approximately ten minutes, adjusting its steeping time depending on how strong you want your tea to be – as its effects intensify over time.
If the earthy flavor of mushroom tea doesn’t appeal to your palette, sweetening it with your preferred herbal blend or honey is a great way to both improve its taste as well as increase its nutritional value.
Once your tea has finished brewing, remove the mushrooms from the liquid before sipping away! Your homemade mushroom tea should last up to one week in the fridge; after which point its potency may diminish significantly. Additionally, use it as an antioxidant booster by mixing with green or black teas – giving your diet extra antioxidant support!
There are various species of mushroom used for making tea. Common choices are Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Chaga and Turkey Tail mushrooms – however it’s vital that you source from reputable and ethical mushroom suppliers so you can be certain your tea is both safe and effective.
Though mushroom teas may differ from regular grocery store varieties in that most must be handcrafted using fresh mushrooms or whole dried mushrooms ground into powder, this process often makes for much safer and more effective beverages than their store-bought counterparts. Some brands of mushroom tea can even come pre-packaged so all that needs to be mixed with hot water for immediate consumption!
No matter where you find yourself on your journey into psychonaut territory, this guide provides all of the information and knowledge needed to start making homemade magic mushroom teas yourself. With patience and practice, this ancient herbal tradition can take on new levels of health and wellbeing – just remember to prioritize personal safety and adhere to local laws when using psychedelic mushrooms!
