Making Psychedelic Mushroom Tea
Mushroom tea is a convenient and delicious way to trip or microdose mushrooms, offering more precise control of dose than eating mushrooms directly. Plus, its taste makes for more enjoyment!
Customize your mushroom tea by including various ingredients, such as hibiscus, licorice root and chamomile. Lemon can also help convert psilocybin into psilocin faster.
Ingredients
Psychonaut mushroom tea is an easy and delicious way to experience the mind-altering effects of psilocin. Not only is this method much safer and gentler on your stomach than eating whole magic mushrooms, but drinking liquid form of mushrooms may actually speed up their absorption by the intestine’s absorptive tissues; you could begin experiencing its effects within 10 or 15 minutes depending on which kind of mushrooms and strength of brew you use.
To craft your own pot of psychedelic mushroom tea, all that’s required is a large pan or pot, water, ground psilocybin mushrooms and a strainer. Weigh out your mushrooms prior to brewing so that you can accurately determine the dose you should take and avoid overdoing it. Lemon juice can also help break down and release faster the psilocybin just like stomach acid would do naturally.
Once you’ve assembled all your ingredients, boil water before adding mushrooms. Grinding beforehand helps the mushrooms dissolve more readily into the hot water. Allow this mixture to steep for 10-15 minutes while occasionally stirring it so that psilocybin compounds don’t settle at the bottom of your cup.
As part of your experience, consider reading or listening to music during this phase. Some individuals also prefer adding lemon zest to their tea in order to flavor it while helping the psilocybin dissolve more rapidly.
Once the mushroom tea has steeped, remove it from heat and strain out any mushrooms that remain. For an extra tasteful touch, consider mixing it with turmeric, ginger or cinnamon; these spices may help mask any earthy or bitter tastes present in mushrooms and mask the earthy bitter taste more effectively. You could even swap out plain water for something with more delicate notes such as chamomile, hibiscus or green tea bases to achieve an enchanting experience!
Preparation
Although mushrooms can certainly be consumed raw, brewing up a cup of tea is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to enjoy them. For newcomers to psychedelic mushrooms, this method can be an ideal way to ease into their use without overtaxing your stomach – and you can customize your cup according to your own tastes with additions like honey, ginger or lemon!
Mushroom tea can be made using any variety of mushroom, but psilocybin mushrooms are most often chosen due to their psychoactive properties and may produce effects ranging from mildly relaxing to euphoric and spiritual. Mushroom tea may also serve as an effective means of microdosing psilocybin mushrooms for therapeutic or exploratory experiences or exploring altered states of consciousness.
When making mushroom tea, it is crucial that high-quality mushroom are used. Poor quality specimens could contain too much or too little psilocybin, while it’s essential to use fresh ingredients as old ones can quickly go rancid and ruin its potency.
Once you have your ingredients together, it’s time to create your tea! Add water to a saucepan and bring it up to a boil over medium-high heat. As this happens, grind your mushrooms so they are easier to infuse with liquid; either by food processor or manually. Be wary not to overgrind as this could diminish their psilocybin content.
Add mushrooms to boiling water and let them steep for 10 or more minutes, before taking it off of the stove and straining it – you should have yourself a delicious cup of psilocybin mushroom tea ready to be consumed!
Storage time will depend on how fresh or preserved your tea mixture is; otherwise, its flavor and psilocybin content could diminish over time. To preserve maximum potency of your mixture for long-term storage purposes, we advise freezing it.
As another means of mushroom preparation, grinding them into powder and filling gel capsules is another great way to microdose as this allows you to accurately determine how many capsules to take for desired effects.
Steeping
Steeping mushrooms in herbal tea blends is an invaluable ritual that prepares enthusiasts for a journey they won’t soon forget. Enjoying earthy flavours such as lion’s mane, shiitake and chaga while simultaneously enabling their psilocybin extract to blend with herbal components of the tea blend also reduces nausea experienced when taking mushrooms alone.
Psilocybin is one of the more widely consumed psychedelic mushrooms for teamaking, yet it’s important to realize its wide-ranging effects aren’t magic bullets; while some people might find their experience uplifting or even nauseating; to prevent unpleasant side effects from taking place safely with someone nearby who can assist if things go awry, take only small doses in safe environments with sober people at your side who can assist if something goes awry.
When making tea from psilocybin mushrooms, only use high-grade organic varieties that have been organically grown – this will ensure you receive only the most potency and safety from this magical fungi.
While ensuring the quality of psilocybin mushrooms, it’s also crucial that purchasers abide by all local laws and regulations when buying and using them for recreational purposes. Depending on where you reside, buying or possessing any type of mushroom could be illegal.
Start creating your very own magic mushroom tea by gathering several essential supplies. A pot or kettle will do, as will a strainer to separate out mushroom pieces after it has been brewed. Honey or ginger slices may enhance its taste. Just be mindful not to drink indigestible parts like chitin from mushrooms which could cause discomfort during your trip – that is one reason many experienced psychonauts opt for drinking their mushrooms this way instead of directly eating them raw!
Straining
Psychonaut tea is one of the easiest and least cumbersome ways to begin your psilocin journey with minimal effort. It’s more comfortable on your stomach, allows you to add extra superfood ingredients, spices and enhancers for an enhanced experience and potency increase; plus it’s fun!
Before beginning to make mushroom tea, ensure your mushrooms are clean and free from debris. Grind them into a fine powder to ensure an even distribution of psilocybin throughout your liquid. After this step has been taken, bring water to boil on high before reducing to simmer. Mix your mushroom powder into your water and allow it to steep for approximately 10-15 minutes before enjoying!
Once your tea has been brewed, it’s important to strain it using a fine mesh strainer in order to separate solids from liquid and transfer the tea into another container – this step ensures you won’t consume any harmful fungi (or other unwanted particles).
As an additional flavor enhancement, many people enjoy adding additional herbs and spices to their psilocin tea for an added splash of spice. Ginger, lemon peels, chaga tea bags, lion’s mane mushrooms, turmeric and mint can make great combinations that pair perfectly with this magical mushroom tea and enhance its effects.
Based on your desired effect, you can also experiment with adding other herbs and spices such as black pepper, cayenne pepper or cinnamon to your mushroom tea in order to alter both its onset as well as duration. This could increase or reduce its effectiveness.
Keep in mind that taking any form of psilocin, from tea to capsules, may take anywhere between 4 and 6 hours before its full effects become evident. Therefore, it’s wise to have someone sober at your side when taking any psilocin-containing products such as mushroom tea – with proper use and caution this can become an incredible tool for self-exploration. Just remember it’s more than just an amusing party trick or story to share at an office meeting!
