Mushroom tea is a drink produced by grinding and steeping mushrooms in hot water, often used as an anti-nausea solution or made using various varieties such as Reishi Adaptogens that boost mental and physical energy.

This method, also known as lemon tek, can accelerate the effects of psilocybin quicker than taking mushrooms whole. While simple and straightforward, preparation before hand is required.

Brewing

Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, commonly referred to as magic mushrooms, are famous for their ability to alter one’s consciousness and perception. There are various methods for taking these powerful substances; one popular way among enthusiasts is brewing into tea as it can be less stressful on digestive systems while also helping extract more psychoactive compounds without indigestible fibrous material that inhibits absorption.

Mushroom tea can be made more exciting by infusing it with various types and combinations of mushrooms to produce unique beverages with different effects depending on what the customer or season requires. A blend of Reishi and Ashwagandha would help soothe nerves before an important meeting, while one containing Cordyceps and Chaga could provide immune system benefits.

To create mushroom tea, start by finely chopping or grinding mushrooms until their surfaces are exposed, which allows psilocybin to infuse more effectively into your tea. Next, boil water in either a teapot or saucepan and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes (it is important not to allow full boiling as too much heat can degrade psilocybin). When all mushrooms have fully infiltrated the tea, remove from heat and strain out for consumption.

Its taste will have an earthy quality that can be enhanced with lemon, honey, ginger or other favorite flavors such as vanilla bean. Sipping slowly will ensure an optimal experience. Furthermore, your environment and mindset play an integral part in enjoying magic mushroom tea; an environment with nature nearby and dim lighting should be preferred for optimal results.

Mushroom tea is an enjoyable and effective way to experience the powerful effects of psilocybin, although individual experiences with psychedelic substances can vary dramatically, and it is crucial that safety, legality, and informed consumption always take precedence.

Preparation

As opposed to eating mushrooms and truffles, which may cause nausea, drinking them in tea is easier on your stomach and allows faster absorption. Furthermore, this method removes indigestible parts of fungi which cause nausea in psychonauts.

To create mushroom tea, break your dose of mushrooms or truffles into smaller pieces so they infuse more easily with water. Next, pour boiling water onto them and allow them to steep for 10 – 15 minutes before straining it into another cup.

The infusion process infuses mushroom tea with health-supportive components that may help boost immunity, reduce stress, regulate blood pressure, aid digestion, and more – elevating it out of trendy status into medicinal and healing properties. If desired, milk or creamer can also be added for an enjoyable, warming and nutritious drink!

Dosage

Magic mushrooms’ effects depend on several variables, including body weight. Someone who weighs more requires a higher dosage to experience similar results as someone weighing less; for example, someone weighing 70 pounds would need more shrooms than another individual who weighs 50 pounds to feel their desired impact; this principle is known as mass action.

When making mushroom tea, cut your mushrooms into small pieces to maximize surface area and ensure all psilocybin is dissolved into hot water. This will help avoid nausea when eating raw mushrooms or truffles; also tea is an easier way to digest indigestible portions such as chitin that may cause stomach upset for psychonauts.

Psychonauts with experience can also add lemon juice to their tea in order to convert psilocybin more rapidly into psilocin and thus experience stronger trips that last longer. Lemon juice also helps fight any feelings of drowsiness that often accompany psychotropic experiences.

Some psychonauts also combine tea with reishi mushrooms, which are well-known natural energy boosters. Reishi contains adaptogens which reduce anxiety, improve mental clarity, enhance immunity function and have powerful anti-inflammatory properties – something tea alone does not do.

Although some have had success combining these substances, their combination is not recommended for beginners. Mixing psilocybin with drugs that act on serotonin receptors could prove dangerous; to stay safe when trying this combination it is wise to educate oneself as much as possible about different forms of magic mushroom consumption before trying anything different.

An extreme case involved an individual who self-injected his homemade magic mushroom tea and found himself at risk, with multiple organs starting to fail and his family finding him disoriented in a disoriented state and calling the authorities. After 22 days spent hospitalized – eight in intensive care unit alone – doctors identified Psilocybe cubensis growing in his bloodstream and prescribed antifungal and antibiotic medication to kill and stop it spreading further; but the individual remains hospitalized, receiving ongoing care.

Tailoring

Mushroom tea enthusiasts often mix different varieties of mushrooms together using the basic extraction method to produce synergistic effects on body and mind. Lion’s Mane can raise mood without overburdening adrenals; Reishi enhances immune system function, reduces stress levels and enhances mental clarity – among many other effects; other herbs like Chamomile or Lemon Balm can add flavour as well as relaxing properties to tea blends, while fashion brands have taken note. JW Anderson released toadstool-emblazoned hoodies while Story MFG have created T-shirts covered in spores; mushrooms have even made an appearance on nail polish for Harry Styles to wear!
