How to Make Dried Magic Mushroom Tea
Brewing magic mushrooms into tea has become an increasingly popular trend for those using magic mushrooms, providing an easier and less harmful way of taking the drug without suffering its adverse side effects. Not only is mushroom tea easy and delectable to prepare; its health-supportive components may even offer benefits beyond flavor! During brewing, mushrooms’ medicinal properties seep into boiling water creating an earthy tea experience that may feature different blends and intensities depending on individual preferences and blends used.
Mushroom tea can be created using any edible mushroom (or combination of mushrooms), though psilocybin-rich varieties like psilocin and psilocina are most often chosen because these contain psychoactive compounds that can induce altered states of consciousness as well as pleasurable feelings.
Magic mushrooms contain psilocybin, which has both psychological and physical effects ranging from euphoria to spiritual experiences. While these benefits are appealing, it’s important to be mindful of any risks associated with using magic mushrooms – some cases could lead to mental illnesses like anxiety and depression, or it could even result in psychosis!
Psilocybin mushroom tea typically takes 20-40 minutes for its effects to take hold, depending on your physiology and dosage. Subsequently, they can last up to six hours but may lessen in intensity over time.
As with any food or beverage, mushroom tea must be prepared correctly to maximize its beneficial properties for consumers. One method many users find effective for alleviating nausea is grinding or crushing dried mushrooms into a fine powder before mixing with hot liquid such as water or milk to maximize chitinase exposure to digestive enzymes in the mushroom and make its digestion more easily digestible by the body.
Ginger can add even greater effectiveness to this anti-nausea strategy by acting through its active phytochemicals: gingerol and shogaol, which interact with brain serotonergic 5-HT3 and cholinergic M receptors to relieve nausea. When combined with long mastication techniques used during magic mushroom preparation, this can be an efficient and safe solution for relieving discomfort when making mushroom tea.
