Mushroom tea is an enjoyable and satisfying way to enjoy mushrooms. As the mushrooms simmer in hot water, their healing and nutritional compounds seep into the tea and can support your wellbeing in various ways. In this article, we’ll show you how to create the ideal cup of mushroom tea as well as provide helpful safety tips.

How Long Will Mushroom Tea Peak

After taking psilocybin-containing mushrooms for consumption, its effects can take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours for them to kick in and the experience to reach its highest point. Most often this peak reaches approximately 1.5-2.5 hours later when visual distortions and cognitive changes reach their most intense state – oftentimes leading to “ego dissolution” feelings or having disorganized thoughts at this stage. After hitting this peak stage, most experiences gradually decline over four-six hours until finally dissipation eventually occurs and finally ends four or six hours later.

Experiences can differ significantly based on a number of variables, including dosage, individual mindset and set and setting. Psilocybin’s effects are amplified with quality sets and settings; however, such elements aren’t required for an enjoyable trip.

Many individuals who use psychedelics such as magic mushrooms are keen to understand how long the effects last so that they can plan accordingly. This is particularly useful if consuming mushrooms for an event or activity like a party; and is also helpful for people who may have mental health conditions or are worried how a particular trip may impact them.

Standard drug tests (like those administered by employers or law enforcement) don’t usually detect magic mushrooms because their active ingredient, psilocybin, quickly breaks down into harmless metabolite called psilocin in your body. However, if you’re concerned about potential side effects from magic mushrooms or how long they will remain in your system for, consider testing with an advanced, more expensive psychedelics test.

How to Prepare Mushroom Tea

To create mushroom tea, heat two or three cups of water until boiling before turning down to simmer and adding your choice of dried mushrooms and steeping for 20 to 30 minutes with regular stirring for even absorption. First, strain the mixture through cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove any solid residue. The flavor of mushroom tea depends on what species of mushrooms are chosen and their method of infusion; most have an earthy and earthy-sweet aroma with subtle sweetness. If you prefer stronger tea, simply steep for longer. Beware though; overstraining mushrooms can compromise their properties and result in an excessively strong or bitter flavor; store your tea in the fridge and reheat slowly before enjoying! Overbrewing causes clumpy texture as well as discomfort within stomach and digestive system.
