Mushroom Tea Instructions
Mushroom tea is often associated with magic mushrooms and their mood-altering properties, but there’s also an incredible range of medicinal varieties that offer immune-enhancing benefits without hallucinogenic properties. Whichever variety you opt for when creating mushroom tea, here are a few key rules you should abide by when doing so.
Setting and mindset are crucial components of mushroom tea consumption, as inconsistent psilocybin potencies in homemade preparations may produce unpredictable effects.
Steep Time
For optimal mushroom tea performance, steep it for as long as possible – this allows nutrients and psilocybin to be more effectively absorbed by your body. However, too much brewing can degrade psilocybin levels, so always follow manufacturer recommendations when making this decision.
Consider also taking into account the water temperature when making mushroom tea. A higher temperature can result in more bitter flavors while lower temperatures produce smoother beverages.
One other factor to consider in your tea blend is the type of mushroom used. Certain mushrooms, like reishi for soothing effects or cordyceps for energy and focus, may be most suitable. Others such as lion’s mane or chaga may provide stimulating benefits – depending on your mood and desired effects, different blends can be created depending on which mushrooms you include in them.
When making mushroom tea, the optimal method involves finely chopping or grinding mushrooms into small pieces to increase surface area and thus enhance infusion. Once chopped, boil water in a pot or saucepan, reduce heat once boiling has occurred and add mushrooms as tea brewer. Allow this mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes before taking it off the heat and straining it.
While many enjoy the pleasure of sipping freshly-brewed tea, you can use it as the basis of creative drinks infused with mushrooms powder blends. Add ingredients such as kombucha, green tea or apple cider vinegar for an instantaneous beverage to satisfy any sweeteners or flavorings to achieve whatever beverages suit your palate best.
Mushroom tea powder comes in two forms-whole mushroom powder and mushroom extract-and both offer their own distinct properties and benefits, but it is important to understand their differences when creating your own mushroom tea blends. Whole mushroom powder is created when whole, dried mushrooms are ground into fine powder by grinding in a food processor; it’s the most widely available form in stores; while mushroom tea extract contains liquid versions of the same psilocybin compounds found in mushrooms.
Water Temperature

Water temperature should always be considered when creating mushroom tea, as this will have an effect on its overall flavor and bioavailability. If possible, make your beverage between 180F-210F so as to preserve all its constituents without jeopardizing bioavailability.
Filtered or spring water is essential to creating delicious tea. Additionally, using an infuser may help filter out particles in your water supply and using glass containers can protect it from absorbing smells from plastic or metal containers used to steep tea.
Those new to herbal tea may initially find the taste of mushroom tea unappealing, but with time and practice they should come to appreciate its distinct flavors. Mushroom tea can be delicious on its own or used to accompany many different meals; perhaps try sipping on some Reishi and Ashwagandha tea before starting work in the morning, and Lion’s Mane tea after dark as an evening treat to help relax before bed.

Steeping Time
Steeping time refers to the length of time your mushrooms or mushroom extract are simmered in hot water before being combined with tea to produce an infusion of flavors and therapeutic benefits. This can be accomplished using whole or powdered mushrooms; you will notice differences in flavor profile and potency when using powdered mushrooms compared with whole ones; powders also allow more consistent and potency because there is no degradation of beneficial compounds during steeping; this allows your tea experience to be consistent as temperatures for making traditional coffee can differ, providing for an ideal experience every time allowing brewing can also reduce steeping times allowing brewing of tea to allow a lower temperatures than traditional coffee would, creating an overall more powerful experience that would create consistent and powerful experience every time brewed coffee would do.
Mushroom tea can be combined with various herbs, spices, sweeteners and other ingredients to improve its flavor and health properties. Many people like to combine various mushroom varieties for synergistic benefits on body-mind health – for instance Reishi with Lion’s Mane can elevate mood, provide mental clarity and promote endurance; Cordyceps helps improve immunity as well as provide grounding and stability benefits.
No matter if you use whole or powdered mushrooms to brew tea, it is crucial that they and the tea are properly prepared in order to realize all its potential benefits. This starts by selecting suitable mushrooms – researching their benefits will help guide your decision regarding which variety and quantity you purchase for brewing purposes.
To make tea, boil the desired quantity of water and add your chosen mushroom/extract. Afterward, allow it to steep for 10-15 minutes before allowing it to cool off slightly before enjoying!
If you plan on making tea using whole or dried mushrooms, be sure to chop or break up them into smaller pieces prior to adding them to boiling water – this will allow them to steep more effectively and prevent oversteeping.
Strain
Steeping mushrooms releases many of their medicinal and nutritional properties into boiling water, elevating mushroom tea from being simply “trendy health food” to an effective healing drink. Studies have demonstrated how it can boost immunity, reduce inflammation, regulate stress levels, lower blood pressure and even assist detoxification processes – among many other potential benefits.
The exact flavor of mushroom tea depends on which variety or combination of mushrooms are being used, however in general the tea will have an earthy and subtly stimulating taste due to the stimulating properties of cordyceps and lion’s mane mushrooms.
Once your mushroom tea has cooled down, strain out any mushroom pieces for a smooth and flavorful liquid, or leave as-is and enjoy your mushroom infusion as is.
If you opt to strain the tea, a very fine mesh sieve should be used. This will prevent mushrooms from getting stuck in the filter and allow it to be easily poured out into a cup.
