Mushroom tea is a hot beverage made by infusing mushroom extracts such as chaga, turkey tail, reishi and cordyceps with water for consumption as a hot beverage. Mushroom tea provides many health benefits that include immune support and increased energy levels.

Mushroom tea can be made quickly and easily at home using dried ingredients, from boiling water to steeping powdered mushroom for several minutes in it before straining out solids and adding honey or another natural sweetener such as Stevia for flavoring. Mushroom tea can be served hot or cold depending on personal preference, making it a convenient way to help promote wellness while offering an alternative to coffee or caffeinated beverages.

This recipe for mushroom tea features Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum). However, the same process applies to other varieties as long as quality dried reishi is purchased from a reliable source. If possible, cut up your mushrooms before boiling to increase surface area and produce stronger infusion. Once the water boils, reduce heat to simmer before adding mushroom pieces; lemon juice or other flavorings may be added at this point too. Once simmering has taken place for 10-15 minutes then remove from heat and let mixture cool before refining for further use later! This will allow psilocybin degradation more slowly as well as strengthening overall strength of this tea!

Though there are various ways of making mushroom tea, this particular recipe employs the decoction method. Simmering mushrooms for 15-20 minutes in liquid produces a strong brew which can be drunk regularly without losing its therapeutic compounds, including psilocybin. Compared with infusion methods, decoction enables users to fully appreciate all that the mushrooms contain therapeutically, unlike its lack thereof!

For those curious to try making their own tea with psilocybin-rich mushrooms, this recipe calls for one eighth of shrooms and two cups of water as the recommended serving size. Although this dose may be too strong for those sensitive to psychedelics, keep in mind that individual mushroom strains contain different levels of psilocybin; an increased strength may be suitable for more experienced users.

Tea can be enjoyed alone or combined with ingredients like herbal tea or spices for an exciting brew, and then chilled and poured over ice for a refreshing iced beverage. An airtight container should keep this tea fresh up to one month; to store longer term, ensure it remains out of direct sunlight and away from moisture.
