How to Make Mushroom Tea For Your Coffee Maker
When it comes to replacing your daily coffee habit with healthier alternatives, there are plenty of healthy solutions that can provide energy without the inevitable caffeine crash. Many consumers are turning to mushroom coffee blends containing ingredients like reishi, chaga and lion’s mane mushrooms as a source of sustained energy while simultaneously decreasing stress levels and anxiety levels. Furthermore, mushroom tea offers numerous health benefits, including reduced stress levels, improved immunity support and an increase in focus and attention span.
Psilocybe tampanensis mushrooms, more popularly known as magic mushroom tea, is an increasingly popular beverage that offers enhanced creativity and spiritual experiences while relieving mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Magic mushroom tea is consumed by steeping dried psilocybin-rich mushrooms in hot water for 10-20 minutes until desired effects such as visual hallucinations or altered perception of time occur – these effects vary according to each individual and it’s advised that individuals consume it in an environment they feel safe or familiar setting for best results.
Functional mushrooms – those with health-promoting properties – have become an increasingly mainstream trend, appearing everywhere from protein powders to RTD beverages. Even celebrities such as Taika Waititi and the Duchess of Sussex have invested and supported this movement, endorsing various brands. Even coffee manufacturers now offer functional mushroom additions for your daily cup!
Making mushroom tea can be accomplished two different ways: either steeping dried mushrooms in hot water for 20-30 minutes, or by using a powder blend that you add directly into your coffeemaker. Steeping will allow medicinal constituents of mushrooms to release into the water, giving a slightly earthier-tasting tea but one which remains beneficial.
Use a powdered blend containing reishi, chaga, lion’s mane and/or psilocybe tampanensis instead to save time: just add it directly into your coffeemaker according to its instructions for optimal use and voila! No simmering necessary! However, not as many medicinal properties might be extracted this way.
Making sure you get the maximum benefit from mushrooms requires preparation on your part; alternatively, pre-mixed blends from Four Sigmatic or Ryze may provide ready solutions. These beverages can be found at most specialty health food stores or ordered online and provide an easy way to sample this new type of drink without the hassle of making it themselves. However, for those feeling adventurous enough, making mushroom tea from scratch is definitely possible. Simply follow these steps below. Before trying different varieties of mushrooms it would be beneficial to research each of them to see which will provide maximum health benefits – this way you’ll be sure that whatever your health goals and individual needs may be can be easily found!
