Mushroom Tea – How to Make Your Own Magic Mushroom Tea
Mushroom tea can provide an effective and faster way of experiencing the psychedelic effects of mushrooms without having to consume them directly. As liquid forms absorb psilocin more rapidly than dried versions, mushroom tea allows users to experience its powerful psychedelic properties more quickly.
Additionally, adding honey or ginger for additional benefits!
1. Clean and Prepare Your Mushrooms
For optimal results, ensure your mushrooms are as clean and fresh as possible. Though both dried and fresh psilocybin mushrooms can be used to make tea, the process of using fresh ones is far simpler. First step should be washing and drying mushrooms thoroughly – simply placing them on kitchen paper in a dark, dry, ventilated space until all moisture has been extracted – then grind into fine powder form once completely dry.
Add any desired flavorings, such as lemon, honey or natural herbs, to your mushroom tea before boiling your water. Be mindful to maintain a simmer rather than full boil as too much heat degrades psilocybin and other active components in mushroom mushrooms.
Next, combine ground mushrooms and a tea bag in boiling water, letting it steep for approximately 15-20 minutes before adding additional sweeteners such as honey or sugar for optimal results.
Many people turn to mushroom tea in order to reduce nausea caused by eating psilocybin mushrooms. While nausea may still occur in some instances, so it’s wise to remain aware of your surroundings and have someone reliable with sober judgement present if taking psilocybin mushrooms.
Mushroom tea can be made using any number of mushroom types, not only those containing psilocybin. Lion’s mane and maitake mushrooms, for instance, are known to help calm nervous systems and promote homeostasis, while others such as reishi and cordyceps are said to reduce stress levels and improve cognitive functions. A combination of species may provide for an even richer experience. It’s important to remember that effects vary according to each person consuming magic mushroom tea from subtlet to intense experiences.
2. Boil Water
Mushroom tea is an easy and tasty way to experience the magic of psilocybin mushrooms. While not producing identical effects to eating mushrooms themselves, mushroom tea offers an ideal alternative for those not comfortable ingesting them directly. Infusing mushroom tea into drinks like coffee allows users to precisely control their dose and can lead to increased creativity, spiritual awakening and relief from depression and anxiety; although these results may differ depending on who drinks it.
Making magic mushroom tea is fairly straightforward. All that is required are mushrooms, boiling water and a strainer or cheesecloth. First step should be cleaning and prepping the mushrooms – grind into powder form so that it dissolves more readily into water; gently boil your water to avoid destabilizing psychedelic compounds found within mushrooms; add in ground mushrooms once your water boils then simmer the entire mixture together for approximately 10-15 minutes until done.
Dependent upon the desired potency of your tea, steeping mushrooms for 20 to 80 minutes may be required to produce an enjoyable mushroom beverage. Once steeped, it can be enjoyed plain or you may add flavors such as honey, lemon juice or spices which help mask its earthy taste for more enjoyment by some individuals.
Psychonauts with experience tend to prefer mushroom tea over eating mushrooms directly as it’s less likely to cause nausea. Chitinous parts of mushrooms often cause discomfort; taking them in liquid form solves this issue.
When creating mushroom tea, only use high-grade organic mushrooms and natural ingredients to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your experience and are protected from potential toxins. This will maximize the experience while protecting you against possible harm from potential contaminants.
3. Steep Your Mushrooms
Though it may seem strange, steeping is an essential step when it comes to taking psilocybin mushrooms. Steeping helps preserve their psychedelic effects while simultaneously extracting indigestible chitin parts that cause nausea in some psychonauts. Tea is much less restrictive than directly eating mushrooms; moreover, tea offers flexibility as you can add herbs, spices, flowers, sweeteners or coffee to further customize your experience.
Our selection of mushroom tea blends encompasses an array of options ranging from the earthy flavors of chaga to the complex umami flavors of lion’s mane. If the earthy taste of mushroom tea doesn’t suit your palate, simply sweeten with honey or stevia to cover its earthiness, mask it, and boost effectiveness of your beverage. Alternatively, adding turmeric or ginger – two spices well-known for their anti-inflammatory and digestive properties – could further boost efficacy.
No matter which mushroom tea recipe you select, always steep your mushrooms for at least 60 minutes before brewing it up. The longer it steeps, the stronger and more potent it will become. Take this time to meditate on nature’s intelligence as your hot water transforms the mushrooms at a cellular level into healing language for our bodies to understand. Once your brew is finished brewing up, relish connecting with nature while experiencing all that mushrooms have to offer!
Make sure you use a scale when crafting medicinal mushroom tea at home – using it will ensure you use only organic, fair trade or sustainably harvested mushrooms to ensure an elixir of highest quality! For optimal results use organic mushrooms.
4. Strain Your Tea
Mushroom tea is a delicious and healthful way to consume mushrooms, and experience their mind-opening benefits. Additionally, its reduced caffeine content makes it a smarter option for those trying to cut back their caffeine consumption.
An essential step to creating mushroom tea is selecting the appropriate mushroom species, such as those high in psilocybin levels such as Golden Teacher, Psilocybe cubensis, Penis Envy and Liberty Caps which have powerful spiritual and environmental healing effects. These mushrooms will bring spiritual peace and connection between you and nature.
Once you’ve selected your mushroom, the next step is boiling water for your tea. At this stage is when any flavor additives should be added: honey or stevia for sweetness; ginger or turmeric spice blends may add additional health benefits as they give the drink delicious flavors while strengthening immune systems.
Once your mushroom tea has steeped for 15-20 minutes, strain it to remove any leftover mushroom pieces and customize your drink to your own tastes. Many people enjoy adding ground up raw mushrooms such as turkey tail and lion’s mane to increase both benefits and flavor! This makes your mushroom tea even more delectable!
Now that your magic mushroom tea has brewed, it’s time to enjoy! Drink it as it is or use it as the base for other herbal drinks – either way it should brew for enough time so you can experience its full effects of psilocybin mushrooms. To prolong its shelf life even further, store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator – this will preserve compounds and keep it tasting fresh for at least a week or two!
