Magic mushrooms (also known as psilocybin mushrooms) have long been used as an ancient and revered way to access spiritual realms and connect with the supernatural. While its effects vary according to each user, often including visual hallucinations and deep introspection. While many have experienced positive results when consuming this sacred fungus responsibly and safely; one method being brewing tea from them. This article will outline the basics for mushroom tea making as well as provide tips to ensure an enjoyable and safe experience.

Mushroom tea is a beverage prepared by steeping whole or powdered mushrooms in hot water to extract their medicinal properties, such as Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. Mushroom tea may include other health-boosting herbs and spices like chaga or reishi for an elevated drinking experience that provides microdosing or natural medicine use.

Preparing mushroom tea is a straightforward process. First, mushrooms should be chopped finely to increase surface area for infusion. Next, the mushrooms are placed into boiling water and allowed to simmer for 10-15 minutes – keeping an eye on temperature as too much boiling can degrade some psilocybin from mushrooms. Once infusing has occurred, the pot should be taken off heat for 15 more minutes after which time they can be removed and left steeping further before being strained and enjoyed as desired.

When making mushroom tea, it is essential to remember the environment and mindset have an enormous effect. The ideal conditions include being in an indoor space that feels safe and familiar while having the intention of self-care in mind. An open state of mind helps the psychedelic compounds reach their therapeutic potential more fully.

An additional advantage of making mushroom tea rather than eating whole or tinctured mushrooms is its faster onset; usually within 30 minutes or less depending on metabolic and environmental factors. You also have more control over dosage with tea preparation compared with pills as you can customize each cup according to strength according to personal taste.

Though this guide to mushroom tea provides a broad overview, please keep in mind that individual experiences with psychoactive substances can differ dramatically. Always prioritize safety and observe any relevant laws when creating mushroom tea beverages.
