How to Make Mushroom Tea
Nothing beats the magical experience of making and sipping tea! Through experimentation, you can discover your ideal blend of herbs and spices to match your mood or desired effects – especially with psilocybin mushrooms’ multitude of benefits that make each sip truly delightful! In this article we’ll go over all of the essential steps necessary for mushroom tea preparation and enjoyment from start to finish.
As the first step of mushroom tea brewing, gather all of your ingredients. Fresh or dried mushrooms may be used, depending on personal preference and availability. When cutting fresh mushrooms into pieces or grinding into powder form for easier dissolution in water. Pour your ingredients into a pot and heat on medium low until boiling water occurs, usually within 10-15 minutes.
Once the water has boiled, switch off the stove and allow your mushrooms to steep for 30-60 minutes to extract as much psilocybin from them as possible. Strain your mixture and add any additional ingredients you would like – such as cinnamon, star anise, cardamom pepper juniper berries or ginger (either grated if fresh or powdered form).
No matter whether it’s fresh or dried mushrooms, you can experiment with various steeping times to see how they impact the overall effect of your tea. Just remember to start small; too much mushroom tea could have adverse impacts on both mental and physical wellbeing.
Home-prepared psilocybin can be difficult to measure accurately, leading to unpredictable effects which could prove hazardous if taken by those predisposed to depression, anxiety or who already have preexisting mental health conditions.
Making mushroom tea over other methods of consumption of mushrooms may be easier on the stomach, as raw mushrooms may lead to cramping or other intestinal distress. Tea can provide direct delivery of psilocybin into the intestinal system through absorbent tissue, helping reduce symptoms quickly and more rapidly than eating mushrooms would. Furthermore, drinking tea has the added advantage of hastening the start of its psychedelic effects than eating mushrooms would. However, the effects will likely take approximately 20-40 minutes, depending on your metabolism and whether or not you had something to eat before drinking your shroom tea. Furthermore, drinking it may not show up on standard drug tests such as saliva or urine samples as the liver quickly rids the body of any trace amounts of psilocybin.
