Mushroom tea can provide a quick boost of energy whether you are embarking on a spiritual quest or need a boost to start the day right. Many brands provide varieties with medicinal herbs and spices added for even greater benefits.

Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane make for an effective combination to give long-lasting mental clarity while also supporting endurance. However, you may also find blends that focus on other qualities, like soothing Reishi or invigorating Chaga; there’s no end of combinations!

Making mushroom tea at home can be an effortless experience. If you don’t feel confident handling raw mushrooms or have the time to grind them yourself, purchasing pre-mixed mushroom powder mixes that are ready for use in hot water is an easy and efficient solution that provides more consistent and potency brew in just minutes!

If you prefer making your own mushroom tea, here are a few key points: Mushrooms spoil easily even when stored properly, and any time they begin to become spongy, dark, or smelly it’s a telltale sign they need to be consumed quickly or else they may become rancid and waste away before their use is even necessary.

Although you might be tempted to drink your mushroom tea right away, for maximum effect it’s best to allow a few hours for the psilocybin and other ingredients to mix fully and form an even more potency brew.

After you are ready to enjoy your tea, it is wise to add a splash of lemon juice. Not only can this enhance its taste; lemon also helps extract more psilocybin from mushrooms.

If you have leftover tea, place it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for several days before drinking it; however, avoid reheating as this could degrade some of the psilocybin. For optimal results, aim to drink your tea within one week for best results.
