Mushroom tea has recently gained in popularity as an effective and delicious health trend, becoming popular with many individuals. Research has demonstrated its variety of health benefits as well as its delicious taste; mushroom tea offers an ideal alternative to coffee that can easily be prepared at home.

The main advantage of drinking mushroom tea is that it contains numerous essential nutrients like antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and amino acids which are great for helping boost one’s immunity as well as cardiovascular health. Furthermore, mushroom teas can reduce stress levels, anxiety and promote restful sleep – popular ones include cordyceps, lion’s mane and chaga – providing energy boost without negative side effects that come with excessive caffeine consumption.

To make mushroom tea you will require water, a kettle or pot and loose leaf or sachet mushrooms of your desired type. For best results with loose leaf mushrooms it is advisable to first grind them up as this facilitates extraction more effectively and releases more of its psilocybin into the water more readily – coffee grinders or food processors make this easier than ever!

Once your mushrooms are prepared, boil water before adding the mushrooms into a pot or cup. Allow the water to steep for several minutes before taking it off the heat and straining it through a sieve into another container or bowl/mug. Some people opt to sweeten their tea by adding honey while others like adding lemon juice for an additional kick of flavor.

Based on your choice of mushroom tea, you may wish to add additional ingredients. Superfood elements like turmeric or ginger can help enhance its health benefits as they assist with absorption of active compounds present in mushrooms. Some people even add some reishi powder or ashwagandha powder for additional health benefits.

There are various varieties of mushroom tea available today and some pre-packed sachets can be purchased at health stores for quick and convenient enjoyment of a cup. Or for even quicker and simpler enjoyment you could purchase mushroom tea bags which have already been filled with the tea, simply boiling some water then steeping for some time until steeped completely.
