Is Magic Mushroom Tea Stronger?
For those unfamiliar with the intoxicating effects of magic mushrooms, drinking them as tea may be an ideal way to experience them. The brewing process helps mask any unpleasant mushroom flavors and makes for easier digestion; making this an excellent option for those seeking a milder experience than ingesting raw or dried mushrooms directly.
To create your own shroom tea, you will require several basic ingredients and tools: water, dried magic mushrooms, a pot or saucepan, strainer and mug for drinking it in. Chopping or grinding mushrooms first will help them release psychedelic compounds faster. When ready to begin brewing, use a weighing scale to ensure equal proportions between water and mushroom powder; 1-5 grams should be sufficient.
Steeping tea for 20 minutes allows psilocybin to be extracted from mushrooms and absorbed by your body, providing ample time for meditation or relaxing in a comfortable position. Hot water also aids in activating its psychoactive properties for an altered state of consciousness.
Add spices or honey to your tea for added appeal; this step is optional but may help mask any unpleasant flavors from mushrooms, making the experience more pleasurable and enjoyable.
Producing tea from raw or dried mushrooms offers another advantage: It lasts much longer. Tea can be stored in the fridge and used whenever it is convenient – perfect for when you need an on-the-go solution! Additionally, unlike capsules which provide more precise dosage control, drinking a cup of tea provides more intuitive consumption of magic mushrooms.
Drinking mushroom tea can provide both a strong and subtle experience, depending on what your goal is. Just make sure the mushrooms are prepared correctly prior to brewing, taking care to appreciate the extraction process as you watch hot water transform ancient allies into healing foods our bodies recognize and absorb.
Mushroom tea can be more than a hot beverage; it’s an immersive and magical experience that connects mind, body, and soul. While enjoying Bravo’s Berry Brain or Reishi Rose tea, consider its incredible healing powers – from its roots in water and soil through hands picking and processing, all the way through centuries of healers discovering them as valuable allies in herbal medicine.
