Evidence can be seen in European, South African and Australian cave paintings dating back 10,000 years; Aztecs referred to psilocybin mushrooms as Teonanacatl or “the flesh of the gods.” Though legality of psilocybin mushrooms in many states and more people than ever are using them for mental health use presently remains an issue; nevertheless there may still be concerns regarding availability.
One of the main issues is identifying what kind of mushroom species they are harvesting, leading to potentially lethal varieties being consumed. Furthermore, it’s essential that anyone collecting mushrooms themselves be advised by someone experienced on how to avoid ingesting poisonous varieties.

To make mushroom tea, you will require several essential tools and ingredients. First off, a pot or kettle for boiling the water will come in handy before you add your mushrooms – whole mushrooms should be cut up so they infuse more efficiently into your tea!
After adding your mushrooms, steep your tea for approximately 10-15 minutes so that the psilocybin in them dissolves into it and gives your tea an enhanced flavor. While steeping, make sure you stir occasionally so all mushroom powder dissolves properly into it.
Once your tea has finished steeping, strain it with either cheesecloth or strainer for maximum flavour. Finally, it is ready for enjoying!
Magic mushroom tea might seem like an enjoyable diversion, but it’s important to keep in mind that psychedelics are powerful substances and must be treated as such. They have profound life-changing potential; taking too much can have unintended side effects and it is wise to have someone sober by your side should things turn south during a trip.
Straining
Mushroom tea may seem like an unconventional method for administering psilocybin, but its roots go back centuries – as evidenced by pre-Biblical cave paintings in Australia or Teonanacatl from Mayans – as spiritual aid, medicinal remedy or simply pure enjoyment.
One of the great advantages of mushroom tea is that it is less irritating on your digestive system than eating whole mushrooms.

Furthermore, adding water helps mask their flavor so that you can fully experience your trip without accidentally choking on chunks of mushroom!
Benefits of drinking mushroom tea include more control over dosing. Most people need only 1 gram to experience milder effects of psilocin, providing an ideal starting point for experiencing its positive mental health benefits such as reduced anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms.
Mushroom tea offers flexibility when it comes to dosing, as well as helping to reduce caffeine intake. Many find that switching out their morning cup of joe for mushroom tea provides them with a gentler boost.
With so many potential advantages, mushroom tea has taken the world by storm. But before heading off to your local coffee shop or brewing up some chamomile tea, it’s essential that you remember consuming mushrooms is a serious matter, even in safe legal forms such as tea. Your mindset, environment and preparation all play key roles in how much enjoyment comes out of this experience, so always practice mindfulness when preparing and taking advantage of this powerful medicine.
Serving
As opposed to eating straight psilocybin mushrooms, mushroom tea offers an easier and less nausea-inducing alternative. Plus, its precise dose control and flavor variety allow for even greater benefit!
There are various methods of intaking mushrooms (psychedelic gummies, shroom chocolates, mushroom kombucha, microdose capsules, and the traditional way of munching on dried mushrooms), but for many people brewing up some mushroom tea is its own ritual that helps prepare them for spiritual journeys. Sitting still and creating this tea ritual allows individuals to focus their energy while setting an intention and ground themselves before embarking on any journeys of discovery.
Those unfamiliar with making their own tea may prefer pre-made mushroom products available online that can be easily purchased and consumed safely. This option provides comfort knowing they will get just enough mushrooms in their drink to benefit their experience and remain safe to consume.
However, if you want to add some zest to your mushroom tea experience, add lemon juice. Lemon’s acidity converts psilocybin into more easily absorbable psilocin that speeds up and strengthens your trip onset; not to mention providing you with zesty flavors while speeding it all along! It is important to remember that effects from taking psilocybin trips may last up to 6 hours so take the appropriate dose for a positive and safe journey.
