Shrooms can have profound impacts on one’s mood and sense of well-being, providing an effective tool for self-healing. However, any use of psychoactive substances must be approached responsibly.

Here’s an easy recipe for an iced mushroom tea that requires minimal equipment and preparation time at home.

Benefits

Mellow mushroom shroom tea can be an enjoyable alternative to more conventional psychedelic edibles such as chocolate bars or gummies containing mushrooms, offering greater control of dosage. Many experienced mushroom enthusiasts also prefer making their own shroom tea as this allows more control of dosage as well as faster onset than eating whole mushrooms which may take two hours for your body to fully metabolize.

Selecting high-quality honey for infusion is key. Aim for raw, natural honey that has been minimally processed to preserve beneficial enzymes and nutrients – this will pair perfectly with earthy flavors found in mushrooms such as Psilocybe. Certain varieties, such as Manuka honey have even been linked with immune-enhancing benefits!

Shroom honey should be stored in a cool and dark area for several weeks after infusing it with mushrooms, although some people choose to strain the mixture prior to storage in order to eliminate any remaining mushrooms particles or sediments that remain.

Step four is optional but can help improve both taste and texture of shroom honey produced. Once infusion has taken place, store it in a glass bottle with an airtight lid to prevent it from becoming watery or leaking out.

Mellow Mushroom Shroom Tea can be enjoyed alone or mixed with other beverages such as cocktails. Mellow Mushroom is expecting to experience growth both with craft cocktails and non-alcoholic mocktails like their Pineapple Express made with pineapple, coconut milk, turmeric spice, housemade agave sour spiked with Flor de Cana seven-year aged rum, or their Cherry Springer made with black cherry, fresh sour and soda.

For those sensitive to psychedelics, it’s wise to consume shroom honey in small doses at first and avoid larger amounts at once. Because the effects can be unpredictable, finding an environment and community to support you during your trip are essential for an enjoyable journey. Anyone with a history of mental illness should use caution and seek professional guidance prior to engaging in any psychedelic experience.

Ingredients

Brewing shroom tea involves several key ingredients, but at its core are mushrooms, water, a pot and heat source. Mushrooms contain two key chemicals called psilocin and psilocybin that break down when exposed to light, heat or oxygen while psilocybin remains more stable over time. Depending on which mushroom species is chosen to create tea for use, different levels of these two chemicals will be released; strong ones having higher concentrations of psilocin will create more intense trips while less powerful species may release less powerful doses or add ground up raw superfood mushrooms such as turkey tail or Lion’s mane for more medicinal effects while increasing overall health benefits of tea preparation.

The tea produced from these materials features a sweet, herbaceous flavor that’s easy to consume. It can be drunk slowly for a mellow experience or quickly for more intense hallucinatory effects. Infusing other herbs such as peppermint or licorice into it for enhanced flavor enhancement can extend its shelf life significantly and prevent any degradation of psilocin. Refrigeration should be practiced after two days after brewing to maintain shelf life and avoid loss through degradation.

Dosage

While most experienced mushroom enthusiasts opt for whole or mushroom-infused chocolate bars and gummies as a form of mushroom ingestion, making your own tea is often preferred due to greater control over dose. As water helps metabolize and activate psilocybin faster than when consumed whole or via food sources – leading many people experiencing less nausea on first ingestion when using this approach.

Tea can also be an efficient way to use up excess mushrooms that you have. A pound of fresh mushrooms weighs 10 times as much as the same weight dried, so tea is an ideal way to squeeze extra mileage out of them!

Tea can help with digestion when it comes to ingesting shrooms, particularly when combined with lemon. Lemon helps break down and expedite absorption into bloodstream faster, offering soothing relief or preventing nausea when taking mushrooms containing psilocybin.

Your tea’s strength and duration of boiling will determine its potency; to adjust accordingly, adjust by adding more or less mushroom powder. Start off slowly, such as one gram at first before gradually increasing dose by increments of one until desired effect has been attained.

At minimum, a gram should produce mild effects such as an altered state of consciousness that leaves you feeling peaceful and relaxed. You might notice more vivid colors around you; everything may seem funnier; your senses may also become sharper; this higher dosage could even produce visual “hallucinations”, fleeting distortions at the edge of vision that may dilate pupils or induce nausea for sensitive trippers and beginners.

At 4 grams, you should experience increasingly intense effects that last up to five hours – known as the hero or threshold dose and extremely powerful.

Storage

Homemade shroom edibles provide individuals with a way to tailor their dose and effects as desired. However, it’s essential to follow proper storage guidelines in order to guarantee potency and safety – homemade psychedelic edibles should be stored in airtight containers in a dark and cool location for up to six months before consumption.

When creating mushroom-infused honey, it’s best to use premium ingredients that are free from pesticides and contaminants. Furthermore, adding complementary flavors such as cocoa or spices could help mask their earthy flavor – giving your honey an authentic mushroom experience!

Shroom-infused honey provides an efficient means of taking psilocybin, as it is easily measured and dosed. It may be used in various ways as either a replacement medication or supplement to existing treatments.

To prepare mellow mushroom shroom tea, begin by mixing powdered mushrooms and honey in a clean glass jar. The ratio will depend on personal preferences and desired potency – be sure to stir thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout your infusion. Furthermore, take note of your individual sensitivity when selecting how many mushrooms should go into it!

After mixing all the ingredients, seal your jar tightly and store in a dark, cool area for two to four weeks before straining to remove any sediment or extra powdered mushrooms that may have formed during aging.

Mellow mushroom shroom tea can be enjoyed both at home and on-the-go, and for optimal freshness and potency it should be stored in a cold environment. Furthermore, to preserve freshness and potency of this beverage it should not exceed one cup in a sitting as this may produce psychoactive effects. As different people may react differently to psilocin-containing products it’s important to respect individual limits when taking such doses – be mindful of your limits before increasing consumption!
