How to Make Hallucinogenic Mushroom Tea
Mushroom tea can be an easy and relaxing way to experience the life-altering benefits of psilocybin mushrooms without having to swallow whole. There are various methods for taking mushrooms such as shroom chocolate, hot cacao beverages, gummies and capsules as well as munching dried shrooms; but drinking mushroom tea offers another method. Plus, its less intimidating option for beginners who might otherwise feel intimidated by raw mushrooms (or have sensitive stomachs).
To create this tea, all that’s required is water, psilocybin mushrooms and a strainer. You could add other superfood ingredients such as reishi mushrooms, lion’s mane or chaga for even greater health benefits.
For maximum potency, increase the dosage and steep for longer. Also add lemon juice as this enhances flavor while helping extract more psilocybin from your mushrooms.
Once you have all your ingredients assembled, start making tea by boiling a pot of water and pouring it over your mushrooms to steep for 15 minutes before using a strainer or coffee filter to separate the liquid from any mushroom pieces left behind – this way you can easily control dosage while guaranteeing no mushrooms pieces remain in your final cup of magic!
Some individuals opt to add mushroom tea into a large jug of icy cold water for chilling effects, often to combat nausea caused by taking psychedelic mushrooms. Others might blend it into smoothies to provide extra nutrition and energy boost, and still others enjoy mixing their mushroom tea with different types of tea such as chamomile, green, or even traditional black or white varieties.
Drinking your brew can bring on the psychedelic effects more rapidly than eating whole mushrooms, and is especially useful for those with sensitive stomachs who can’t digest them well. Furthermore, it may reduce nausea caused by taking psilocybin mushrooms.
If you decide to go this route, be sure to bring along someone trustworthy who can guide your trip and help keep the experience within its context. Psilocybin trips can be highly emotionally charged experiences that must be treated as journeys rather than party tricks; take this journey mindfully and respectfully and remember to monitor how much liquid intake (both liquids and beverages). On average, an average trip lasts 4 – 6 hours.
