Making magic mushroom tea yourself can be an enjoyable and simple way to experience its effects, whether microdosing or trying for something more serious. Just keep in mind that perfecting it takes time!

Over-steeping mushrooms isn’t only a culinary faux pas–its psilocybin degrades when exposed to too much heat, leading to potential mushroom tea disaster. So here are a few tips that should help prevent such disaster.

Ingredients

Mushroom tea has quickly become one of the most popular ways to consume magic mushrooms, offering easy preparation and enjoyable ingestion of psilocybin effects. You can make mushroom tea using different ingredients such as ginger, lemon and honey as well as other herbs and spices – even creating this ritual itself can help focus and set intentions for an amazing trip experience!

Making mushroom tea requires several components. First, you will need a cup or mug to hold your mushrooms, a tea infuser or tea bag, hot water and a strainer – then wait approximately ten minutes before straining out and adding any desired additional ingredients or heating later as desired.

Psilocybin in mushrooms will be destroyed by heat, so it’s essential not to boil your tea. If using dried mushrooms, grinding them up before making tea can increase surface area and help absorb more psilocybin from them. While any type of tea can be used for mushroom tea brewing, some popular choices include chamomile, hibiscus and licorice root teas.

Mushroom tea is popular because it not only hides their flavor, but it can also reduce nausea. Chewing mushrooms can be uncomfortable on the stomach, and swallowing whole can result in vomiting; with mushroom tea however, you can quickly extract any undigestable parts such as chitin that remain and discard them, leaving only psilocybin behind for consumption.

The effects of magic mushroom tea depend on both its dosage and length of infusing time, for instance microdosing with up to 0.8 grams can produce subtle effects such as mood enhancement and increased creativity, while higher doses can cause visual and auditory hallucinations.

Steep Time

Mushroom tea is an easy and tasty way to introduce yourself or others to psilocybin, whether as an introduction or simply looking for an alternate form of ingestion. Not only is it easier on your stomach than straight mushrooms, but its effects start taking effect more rapidly as a beverage than by themselves.

Start crafting your own magical brew by gathering three key ingredients: tea of choice, crushed or shredded mushrooms for increased surface area and hot water. Feel free to experiment by adding honey, chaga and ginger as desired to craft the ideal blend for yourself!

Once you have all of the ingredients together, heat a pot of water on the stove until it just starts simmering gently – not boiling, as this would destroy the beneficial compounds found within mushrooms. For optimal results use only filtered or spring water.

If using a tea kettle or saucepan equipped with an infuser, place the tea bag, loose leaf tea, mushrooms or shrooms into the infuser and pour hot water over them. Allow this mixture to steep for 10 – 15 minutes while occasionally stirring it – the longer you let your tea steep, the stronger its flavor will become.

Once your tea is done brewing, simply take a look! Take away the infuser and strain it into another cup to separate out any mushroom pieces from its magic potion base. Now it is time to sit back and enjoy!

If you do not own a tea kettle or suitable mugs to brew your tea, another way is pouring mushroom-infused tea into a glass container and placing it in the refrigerator to chill; this will produce more concentrated tea that can be drunk as shots.

Medicinal mushroom tea has long been used to alter both mind and mood. Some also claim it helps with physical ailments, since medicinal mushrooms contain antioxidants with both physical and cognitive health benefits. Although Psilocybin mushrooms are the star attraction, other species provide similar results when making mushroom tea.

Water Temperature

Mushroom tea is an effective way to experience the magic of psilocybin without experiencing stomach upset from eating actual mushrooms themselves. Fungi have tough outer layers which may make digestion difficult; therefore, for maximum efficacy of its magic it should pass quickly through our digestive systems rather than becoming lodged there. Experienced psychonauts typically opt for mushroom tea as an easy and tasty way to access its magical effects.

One of the key aspects of creating a shroom tea is keeping water temperature under control; otherwise, boiling will destroy its magic before you even get to work with them! For maximum effectiveness, water temperatures must remain as low as possible to preserve their potency and make use of their potential benefits.

To avoid this issue, brewing mushroom tea in a saucepan or on the stove top with only a light simmer instead of full boil should help. Filtered or spring water will make for a better experience for your gut.

Filtered or spring water may not always be easily available in stores; however, bottled water can often be found at drugstores and some grocery stores. Just make sure that when purchasing, check its label carefully for any expiration dates or warnings about possible contaminants before making your purchase.

Your choice in how you filter or mix your brew may depend on its ingredients; generally speaking, more surface area equals faster and stronger absorption of psilocybin. Therefore, experienced mushroomers may grind up their dosage into powder prior to adding it into their tea beverage.

As your brew steeps, take time to reflect on all of its miraculous components: water and soil that enabled mushrooms to sprout; hands that harvested and prepared tea from those fields; people who helped transport and bring it directly into your cup; then sip, relax, and taste your delicious cup of magic – this ritual may prove both comforting and grounding before your trip begins! It may even help your trip go more smoothly!

Strain

Dependent upon their dosage, magic mushrooms can bring about various psychedelic effects, including altered states of consciousness, spiritual experiences, creative stimulation and visual stimulation. Furthermore, magic mushrooms may help alleviate anxiety and depression among cancer patients as treatment continues; eating mushrooms alone may not be effective enough; making mushroom tea is therefore often preferred among psychonauts.

Water quantity plays a pivotal role in mushroom tea brewing. Therefore, always measure your ingredients beforehand using a kitchen scale for accurate measurements. Furthermore, make sure to cut up mushrooms or truffles into smaller pieces to increase surface area and speed up psilocybin dissolving faster in liquid.

Temperature of water is also an important consideration, as you want to avoid damaging psilocybin in mushrooms by boiling at a lower heat. You could add lemon juice for even more psilocybin extraction while simultaneously heightening flavor.

Other than lemon, you should add any other desired ingredients to your brew. Some people enjoy adding ginger, honey, chaga or reishi mushrooms for mushroom tea while others use flavored tea bases such as chamomile, green tea, hibiscus or yerba mate as bases for their mushroom tea beverage.

Once your mushroom tea is complete, straining is key to ensure any undissolved particles do not end up in your cup of tea. A coffee filter or paper towel are both great tools for this process. Lastly, store it in the fridge and use within one week of brewing to achieve optimal results.

Making mushroom tea is an easy and effective way to experience psychedelics without experiencing the discomfort associated with chewing mushrooms whole. Furthermore, drinking this elixir may even be easier on your digestive system!
