Mushrooms can be an incredible transformative experience, helping heal mental health issues and open your mind up to new possibilities. However, taking them should be done carefully in order to avoid negative experiences; thus many prefer mushroom tea for ingestion to achieve desired effects. In this article we will cover how you can make mushroom tea yourself to ensure a positive journey!

Making mushroom tea involves several methods, with the most popular method combining psilocybin-containing mushrooms into hot water. This approach improves their taste while bypassing chitin, an inhibitory protein found in cell walls which may cause nausea or stomach pain, through cooking processes which also break down chitin molecules more digestibly thereby making the mushrooms more digestible.

For those not comfortable blending their own tea, there are various pre-made mushroom teas available for purchase in stores and online. Most of these products utilize various psychedelic mushroom species known to contain psilocybin and other psychoactive compounds; depending on which product it may have an intense dose per cup while others might provide less intense effects.

No matter the species of mushroom used, it is important to remember that even when consumed as tea with other substances like herbs or teabags, mushrooms will still have some level of psychotropic effects that will manifest themselves through consumption of an entire cup. Therefore, many individuals find having someone there during their experience beneficial; someone who can provide guidance, remind the user when breathing can help keep things under control, or offer assistance during difficult parts of the journey.

Mushroom tea can be enjoyed alone or combined with other ingredients to create custom blends of flavors. Some people enjoy pairing mushrooms with chai, which is a spiced black tea popularly served across India and Southeast Asia. When combined together, cinnamon, ginger or other spices add rich, earthy notes. Some even opt to sweeten their mushroom tea with honey or maple syrup for an additional special touch!

As each individual responds differently to mushrooms, when making mushroom tea it’s essential to remember this fact. Some may experience immediate results while others might not experience them until after cooling has set in – this is why it is often wiser to prepare and store your tea for later.

If a more potency dose is desired, mushrooms combined with lemon juice may be mixed together to speed the breakdown of chitin and increase availability of psilocybin. This method is known as “lemon tek,” and commonly employed by those familiar with mushroom trips in the past. Please be aware that this technique should only be employed by individuals familiar with how psilocybin affects them.
