As psychedelics become more mainstream, people are finding innovative ways to enjoy them. One popular method is brewing them into delicious cups of tea; whether relaxing or traveling, mushroom tea is an excellent way to satisfy both needs. If this method intrigues you, continue reading to discover how you can craft your own batch of entheogen-infused brew.
Many different mushrooms have long been utilized as spiritual and medical remedies, with most people being familiar with magic mushrooms (Psilocybin). This powerful substance is well known to produce altered states of consciousness, vivid hallucinations and deep inner reflection. Furthermore, magic mushrooms may increase effectiveness of certain medications while simultaneously improving your mood and creativity.
However, it is important to keep certain things in mind regarding mushroom consumption. Smoking mushrooms can lead to adverse reactions like coughing and breathing difficulties as well as allergic responses; additionally, smoke at high temperatures degrades psilocybin so avoiding smoking altogether would be best.
Mushrooms can often escape detection during drug tests due to their fast metabolism and elimination through urine. A more expensive and rarer test, called hair follicle analysis, may provide insight into recent mushroom use.
As such, most people opt for non-smoking methods of intaking mushrooms like tea or capsules, which allow more precise dosing and can decrease accidental ingestion risks. Furthermore, these discreet options tend to attract less unwanted attention.
There are a few simple techniques you can follow for making delicious shroom tea at home. The first step should be preparing the mushrooms – either by chopping, grinding, or simply soaking – using cold water rather than hot for best results as hot water may degrade psilocybin levels in mushrooms.
Once your mushrooms have been prepared, it’s time to begin the brewing process. Depending on your preferences, an electric kettle or traditional pot can be used to boil the water before turning off the heat and allowing the mushrooms to steep for several minutes before removing the strainer and pouring the liquid into a clean mug.
Finish it all off by topping with coarse sea salt for the final touch and enjoy! Mushroom tea can be enjoyed alone or added to other dishes like risotto, salads and soups; it even goes great in ramen! Check out this great recipe.
