How to Make Psychedelic Mushroom Tea
Psychedelic mushroom tea is an increasingly popular way to enjoy the mind- and mood-altering properties of magic mushrooms while avoiding stomachaches from eating whole mushrooms. If you’re searching for an effective, reliable, and safe method of taking mushrooms that won’t upset your stomach as easily, this article contains an in-depth step-by-step guide on making psychedelic mushroom tea.
Making mushroom tea has many different methods, and your preferred approach will have an enormous effect on your experience. While some prefer powdered products that blend directly into hot water and result in the consumption of mushrooms themselves, others might opt for brewing techniques like the cold press method instead. Whatever method you select, your finished product will provide an aromatic cup that can be enjoyed for various purposes.
To make mushroom tea, begin by prepping your mushrooms – this involves removing their caps and stems before possibly cutting or grinding into smaller pieces. Next, place them in a jar or container covered with either plastic wrap, cloth, or lid for storage until the mushrooms have become dry enough for drying out.
Next, prepare your tea ingredients. This process can be as straightforward or intricate as desired – some people enjoy making classic black or green tea while others choose more experimental herbal infusions. When selecting ingredients for use in this endeavor, ensure that they are of premium quality, freshness and organic certification – this will give the best experience.
Once you have your tea ingredients ready, it’s time to create mushroom tea itself. This process is quite easy: simply heat water until it reaches steaming-but-not-boiling temperature before pouring the hot liquid onto mushrooms for steeping for one or two minutes.
Your mushroom tea may benefit from adding other ingredients, like honey, ginger or spices such as turmeric – although these additions are optional; what matters most is having enough psilocybin present to provide an intense trip experience.
Mushroom tea usually begins to work faster than eating whole mushrooms because liquids move through your digestive tract more rapidly than solids. Depending on your body and metabolism, its effects should start within 30-60 minutes of intaking your mushroom tea.
One reason many experienced psychonauts opt for tea is its ability to reduce nausea. Eating mushrooms often leaves us with stomachaches due to indigestible chitin; by creating mushroom tea instead, this problem is solved entirely and you can consume smaller doses than typical meals with this method. Microdosing practitioners especially find this approach effective.
