How to Make Mushroom Tea Magic
Mushroom tea can be an amazing journey when brewed correctly, transforming how you view things, opening your mind to new possibilities, and strengthening connections to nature and yourself. However, it is essential that you understand psilocin (the active ingredient found in magic mushrooms), in order to safely enjoy this experience responsibly and safely.
To best experience psilocin in tea, it should be steeped for at least 15-17 minutes before drinking it. As more psilocin will be released with each infusion, we always advise using high quality mushroom powder mixes when making tea – we have made this even simpler with our limited edition botanical powder blend developed with luxury tea company TEALEAVES!
Medicinal mushrooms have long been used by ancient healers and modern science alike as powerful natural medicines. Packed full of polysaccharides that support immunity and other essential nutrients for the body, medicinal mushrooms offer bioavailability in digestible cell walls that must be broken down by hot water in order to be digested by our bodies and digested properly. It’s during the 60-minute steep time where all the real magic occurs: polysaccharides transform into healing language our bodies understand!
Embark on a soothing ritual every day – let a cup of mushroom tea be your moment of mindfulness and intentional self-care! Sit back, make yourself comfortable, and allow this cup to bring calm to your day.
Making your own tea offers many advantages, one being being the ability to tailor its dosage and strength according to your individual needs. From mild euphoria to intense trips, the amount of mushroom powder and water used will determine its impact.
Experiment with various doses and water levels until you find what suits you best. Furthermore, experiment with adding different ingredients such as herbs, spices, flowers, or lemon juice for maximum flavor!
Keep in mind that heat destroys psilocin, so try not to exceed boiling temperature. Additionally, cut up your dose of mushroom powder into small pieces to increase surface area exposed to water and help the psilocin dissolve more quickly into it. This will allow faster absorption.
If you plan to do a full magic trip, we strongly advise consuming tea with another person. Not only is this an enjoyable social experience, but it may help lessen nausea caused by taking psilocin, due to indigestible chitin parts that build up in your stomach and digestive tract; having someone present can assist with alleviating this discomfort while simultaneously keeping you relaxed and focused during your trip.
