Mushroom Tea – A Convenient and Delicious Way to Take Mushrooms
Consistent and regular mushroom supplement consumption – whether capsule form, tincture, powder or tea – is key to enjoying their benefits fully. One easy and delicious way of doing so is through tea brewing – an affordable and tasty way of taking mushrooms!
Brewing mushrooms adds another element of dosing control that eating does not. By following this recipe and using equal parts mushroom species and water, you can customize your tea’s potency to meet both personal preference and any suggested dosage guidelines.
Mushrooms contain numerous properties that can dramatically change your experience, from psychedelic effects to mood-lifters and immune-boosters. We will use lion’s mane and cordyceps mushrooms as examples in this article, but feel free to experiment with other varieties that suit your mood or preference.
Make your own Lion’s Mane or Cordyceps Tea easily at home: boil some water and combine all of the dried ingredients into a mug; stir well, and allow it to steep for 15 minutes before straining out any remnants and serving in your preferred mug or glass!
Tastes vary greatly when it comes to mushroom tea depending on which blend and mushroom species are being used to craft it, with subtle earthy notes with some notes of sweetness and subtly stimulating properties depending on which mushrooms species you select for use in its creation. Usually though, mushroom tea has an earthy, earthy aroma with subtle sweet undertones for an energetic kick based on what species has been chosen as ingredients.
Tea made from mushroom extract is more digestible than whole mushrooms or other forms of mushroom supplementation, easing your digestive system and potentially helping prevent stomachaches associated with certain species of mushrooms. Furthermore, liquids move more quickly through our intestinal tract than solids do.
Brewing mushrooms into tea may help reduce any adverse side-effects that come with eating raw magic mushrooms, including their strong flavors that some find unpleasant and cramped stomachs caused by eating large quantities at once. Although some people enjoy this form of consumption, most find other forms to be preferable and don’t find eating raw mushrooms pleasant enough for daily consumption.
Start by gathering all of the ingredients. You will need a mug, strainer, measuring cup/spoon and scale for accurate dosing of lion’s mane or cordyceps powder into each cup of water used – 1 gram should make about 8 oz of tea which will be very concentrated; to dilute further use more water or less powder.
