Learn How to Brew Magic Mushroom Tea More and more people are opting to brew their magic mushroom tea rather than chewing and swallowing whole mushrooms. This method allows for the addition of other therapeutic ingredients and can provide a richer experience that tastes better, takes effect faster and subsides more rapidly compared to eating whole mushrooms – while simultaneously decreasing nausea. Brewing mushroom tea involves grinding dried mushrooms into a fine powder. This ensures maximum exposure to chitinase enzyme, which breaks down indigestible chitin and allows psychedelic components to become more readily absorbable. A variation known as lemon tek can speed up absorption while heightening experience through citric acid additions to the mixture.
