How to Prepare Magic Mushroom Tea
Mushrooms are widely recognized for their mood- and mind-enhancing effects. You can either consume them raw as-is or prepare them in various ways that make them easier for digestion and absorption by your body. One popular means is through mushroom tea; this method provides convenience while offering a delicious tasting beverage!
Medicinal mushroom tea is often made using a blend of herbs and spices that have long been utilized as part of traditional medicine and are revered for their healing benefits. Such an infusion typically includes dried shiitake, reishi and cordyceps mushrooms alongside black peppercorns, licorice root extract, turmeric, ashwagandha powders and more; creating an indulgent beverage packed with healing properties as well as mood-boosting capabilities.
Tea made with mushroom powder can be created by mixing it with hot water in a teapot or infuser and steeping for approximately one hour before being enjoyed either alone, with added sweetener and milk, or by purchasing ready-to-drink mushroom tea blends that don’t require steeping – though if preparing your own it is important to remember that any psychoactive compounds present will dissipate quickly into liquid without proper steeping time.
Eaten raw magic mushrooms is one of the easiest and most accessible ways to enjoy them in public settings. But this method may prove uncomfortable to chew on and may not always produce an enjoyable taste experience.
Many people turn to mushroom tea preparation in order to circumvent an unpleasant experience and more accurately control their dosage, an essential aspect for microdosers.
When using the lemon tek method of mushroom tea preparation, finely grinding your mushrooms will increase their surface area and enable their chemicals to absorb into your liquid more readily. Also be sure to include some lemon juice for faster conversion of psilocybin into psilocin.
