How to Make Magic Mushroom Tea
Psychonauts with experience often prefer tea over capsules or eating their mushrooms, as this method is easier on their stomach and allows for further customization by mixing in various herbs and spices to modify its effects and heighten its overall experience.
Making mushroom tea is straightforward and similar to any other herbal infusion process. First, chop up your dosage of shrooms into smaller pieces so they infuse more efficiently with the tea. Next step should be boiling some water but beware not overdoing it as too much boiling will destroy any psilocybin present in it!
After gathering your chopped mushrooms, add them to a tea infuser with hot water, and allow the mixture to steep for 20 minutes – stirring every few minutes may help the psilocybin infuse faster! Finally, strain and consume!
Mushroom tea’s flavor can vary depending on which kind of mushroom and ingredients are included, but generally speaking its taste will be earthy and subtle with a grounding quality. Cordyceps tea may subtly energize or relax you depending on its ingredients; similarly reishi tea may bring calm. Adding ginger can help reduce nausea by providing phytochemicals called gingerol and shogaol that interact with serotonergic 5-HT3 receptors and cholinergic M receptors respectively in your brain’s.
Mixing different kinds of mushrooms together to make unique blends can also help elevate mood and encourage creativity while keeping energy levels balanced – the possibilities are limitless!
