Tech workers to traditional shamans alike are taking tiny amounts of mushrooms to enhance focus. Magic mushroom tea may be one of the easiest and most convenient ways to microdose; however, there are a few considerations you must keep in mind before beginning this ritualistic practice. This article details everything you should know when creating and drinking this magical concoction.

No matter your level of psychonautical experience or curiosity about mushrooms’ effect on mental wellbeing, microdosing them in tea form is an easy, convenient, and safe way of taking microdoses of mushroom medicine. This guide will walk you through how to create your own mushroom tea at home as well as give tips for tailoring dosage for stronger or weaker effects.

Before beginning to brew your mushroom tea, it’s essential that the mushrooms are appropriately cleaned and prepared. This involves brushing off any dirt or debris from their surfaces before grinding into a fine powder to ensure that psilocybin can dissolve more readily into water and be extracted more effectively.

Once you have cleaned and prepared the mushrooms, combine them in a pot of boiling water to steep for 15 minutes – longer soaking will intensify its effects. Strain out any remaining mushrooms when your tea has steeped for optimal results.

Make one or more servings of tea at once or create larger quantities for daily consumption. Mushroom tea should last 1-2 weeks in the fridge before it loses both flavor and potency.

Mushroom tea is a beverage created by steeping whole or powdered mushrooms in hot water for several minutes to release their aroma and medicinal benefits. Common varieties used for mushroom tea are reishi and chaga – known for their healing properties – as well as psychoactive varieties like Psilocybin which is widely known for altering perception of reality and inducing altered states of consciousness.

Taste can vary depending on the types and blend of mushrooms used in a mushroom tea recipe, though generally speaking it’s caffeine-free with an earthy or woody aroma and taste. With proper preparation methods in place, effects may start within 20 minutes but some individuals may experience delayed effects due to factors like food intake or quantity of mushrooms consumed.

Mushroom tea, as a liquid, passes more rapidly through your digestive system than solids; thus, reducing its chances of appearing on drug screening tests than eating or smoking mushrooms in meal form or as cigarettes. Unfortunately, however, this cannot be said of injectable forms of psilocybin-containing mushrooms which could remain in your system up to 90 days later.
