Psilocybin mushrooms are an intoxicating substance with psychedelic effects that are consumed via tea in order to inhale psilocybin and psilocin compounds that alter perception of reality and alter consciousness.

These recipes for mushroom tea can easily be tailored to meet your personal preferences, adding sweeteners or herbs as desired to soften up its earthy flavors.

Ginger is a versatile culinary spice, but did you know that its root contains powerful medicinal benefits as well? Gingerols found within gingerols contain natural pain relievers while its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe indigestion and nausea symptoms.

Green tea is an excellent source of antioxidants. It features a light and refreshing flavor that pairs beautifully with the earthy tones found in mushrooms, while its low energy density makes it an excellent substitute for meat in recipes. In contrast, Psychedelic Mushroom Tea, commonly known as Magic Mushroom tea can be prepared by steeping psilocybin-containing mushrooms into hot water for six hours; its effects may include altered states of consciousness as well as pleasurable sensations which may last up to six hours after its consumption – used to alleviate anxiety or depression as well as boost mental performance and increase focus.

Preparation

Mushrooms such as Reishi, Chaga, Lion’s Mane, Poria (Fu Ling), Turkey Tail and Cordyceps are commonly consumed as tea. You can purchase loose leaf or tea bag tea bags containing concentrated extract powders which make brewing them at home simple and hassle free.

Mushroom tea can be prepared using either hot or cold water and steeping times depend on the type of mushroom and method chosen for brewing. Antioxi’s heat-stable double extracts dissolve quickly in hot or cold beverages for optimal results.

Antioxi’s mushroom extracts should ideally be steeped at 85-90degC for 10-20 minutes to release their water-soluble compounds, while tea bags and loose blends also benefit from this steeping temperature; though straining might be required before drinking. Tea bags offer another convenient option when travelling or leading a busy lifestyle.

Storage

Fungi that spoils can lead to food poisoning; this risk increases significantly if you have immunity issues or are currently taking antibiotics. Spoiling mushrooms not only produces an unpleasant-tasting tea but may also introduce dangerous bacteria into your digestive tract and increase risk.

Smallhold Mushroom Company sells its products at Whole Foods and farmers markets and opts for cardboard boxes as storage rather than plastic or styrofoam containers because this helps ensure moisture doesn’t seep into them, leaving them susceptible to moisture damage. It is for this reason they use boxes instead of paper bags which would allow moisture to seep into them over time.

Mushrooms that have been dried can last up to one year when properly stored and monitored for signs of mold or rot, but must be regularly inspected to detect any changes that indicate they have gone bad. If they begin turning green, yellow, or brown in color they have gone off and should no longer be consumed; otherwise a quick rinse may restore full potency of the product.

To create your own psilocybin mushroom tea, all it takes is boiling hot water over the mushroom caps and steeping. The resulting tea can then be consumed to experience its psychedelic effects – which include altered states of consciousness and pleasurable feelings – typically lasting 20 to 40 minutes for full effects to kick in; lasting up to 6 hours at most.

Other mushroom-infused drinks are prepared using dried or raw ingredients like reishi, chaga, turkey tail, cordyceps and lion’s mane mushrooms. Some products come as loose-leaf blends while others may come pre-measured tea bags or concentrated extract powders – depending on your preferred format of consumption, temperature can have an impactful impact. High grade double extract powders like Antioxi’s are heat stable for use at various brewing temperatures while loose-leaf blends and tea bag blends require careful steeping for proper release of water-soluble polysaccharides and beta-glucans contained within.

Recipes

Recipes for mushroom tea come in all forms and varieties. Some use more commonly available mushrooms like reishi or chaga while other more exotic varieties like lion’s mane may also be added for an enjoyable taste experience. Many recipes also incorporate spices and herbs for an enhanced experience and honey is often added as an earthy-tasting sweetener that complements these teas perfectly.

Ginger can help soothe stomach issues by being sliced thinly for maximum flavor extraction. Ginger is readily available at most supermarkets.

Psilocybin mushroom tea is often enjoyed for its psychedelic effects. The fungus contains two compounds called psilocybin and psilocin which can create altered states of consciousness as well as pleasurable feelings that last up to six hours after drinking this tea, made by steeping psilocybin mushrooms in hot water for 20-40 minutes until the effects start taking place.
