Integrating mushrooms into one’s diet as tea is an easy, tasty, and healthful way to boost immunity, alleviate stress, aid digestion, lower blood pressure, detoxify and promote mental wellbeing. Mushrooms contain many natural compounds with wellness-promoting effects and can be found in supplements, capsules or tinctures – but some individuals may feel intimidated about making the switch from pill-form consumption of mushrooms to making tea from them.

Now there’s good news! All the same health-enhancing properties of mushroom powder can be achieved simply by steeping it in hot water to make mushroom tea. Brewing mushroom tea is easy and allows you to tailor its experience based on what effects you desire: be it relaxing reishi before bed, immune-enhancing Chaga tea for morning cuppings, or focus-inducing Lion’s Mane Brew in the morning – mushroom tea can accommodate all of these needs perfectly!

Proper storage of mushroom tea will enable you to maximize the benefits of every sip. For optimal results, store in an airtight container at room temperature; alternatively you could keep it in the fridge for up to three days (though remember that excessive heat could damage some beneficial compounds in its mix).

Use proper storage methods for mushroom tea to maximize its benefits on an ongoing basis. Brewing it first thing in the morning when your body is most active is suggested as this allows your body to absorb and utilize all its essential vitamins and nutrients from this delicious beverage. Furthermore, mushroom tea makes an excellent pre-workout drink, providing endurance boost and aiding recovery afterward.

Mushroom tea offers another key benefit of regular consumption – it will delay the onset of its psychotropic effects. Brewing alters some psilocybin molecules to facilitate faster absorption and effects; typically within 20-40 minutes post consumption, users experience their first effects. Duration of effects will depend on various factors, including an individual’s physiology. To optimize results and minimize side effects, drinking mushroom tea daily is ideal, particularly for those sensitive to its psychedelic properties. Individuals prone to upset stomachs should consume their tea with food in order to prevent an upset. If nausea is an issue, consider adding freshly sliced ginger during steeping as its proven antinausea properties will also help. Brewing can further be tailored by adding milk or honey for taste, or try different spices such as cinnamon, star anise cardamom juniper berries turmeric among many more!
