Mushrooms may provide numerous health benefits, from protecting against heart disease to slowing certain aspects of aging and strengthening immunity – but did you know they can also be used to create tasty teas?

Psilocybin mushroom tea can be made by infusing dried psilocybin mushrooms with hot water to infuse their psychotropic compounds psilocin and psilocybin into your system for ingestion, creating altered states of consciousness as well as pleasurable feelings.

Reishi Mushroom Tea

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) are revered for their health-promoting properties and revered for being “mushrooms of spiritual potency.” Reishi contains polysaccharides which stimulate immunity, prevent tumor growth and lower blood pressure – as well as being used to treat hepatitis, high cholesterol levels and nervous disorders.

Reishi tea is one of the easiest ways to reap the benefits of this medicinal mushroom, and you can easily make it at home using just a few ingredients. Reishi can help alleviate anxiety, reduce stress, and aid sleep quality – an all-around win-win solution!

To prepare reishi tea, first chop your dried mushrooms into small pieces with either a knife or mortar and pestle. Once chopped, you need to combine them in a stainless steel pot along with water before bringing the mixture to boil before gradually decreasing its temperature until simmering occurs – let your tea simmer for at least one hour for optimal results!

Strain the liquid and drink it hot. You can sweeten your tea if desired by adding raw, local honey that has not been pasteurized, which has many additional health benefits.

Chaga Mushroom Tea

Chaga is a dark fungus found on birch trees that is widely believed to have numerous health advantages. Packed full of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients, chaga is often used as an all-natural cure for cancer, arthritis and immune system support. Tea brewed using Chaga can also provide beneficial compounds and can even help fight depression and anxiety.

Chaga should first be cleaned of dirt and insects before being left to dry for around one month in a cool dark environment. Once completely dried, it can then be chopped into various sizes for use in teamaking – large chunks are ideal for slow cooker use while finely ground chaga is great with french press or bodum style teapots. Furthermore, powdered forms can be added directly into loose leaf tea bags/balls/soups or stews directly for maximum benefit.

To create chaga tea, boil and then simmer one cup of water with several large chunks for four hours, strain, sweeten, or add milk for an incredibly flavorful coffee-like drink.

Though chaga can be harvested throughout the year, wintertime is the optimal time. No leaves cover birch trees at this point in time, making chaga easier to identify as it has dark and hard surfaces that make it easy for harvesting.

Magic Mushroom Tea

Psilocybin mushrooms contain psychoactive compounds that can alter one’s perception of reality and induce altered states of consciousness, creating magic mushrooms or “magick mushies” as they’re also called. When consumed correctly, magic mushies can help users overcome depression, anxiety and addictions. Psilocybin mushrooms can be consumed through dried powder, capsules or tea. When making tea from these mushrooms it typically involves steeping it with hot water before straining out for consumption.

Tea can be enjoyed both plain or with additional garnishes such as pre-cooked noodles, chopped vegetables and rice. For optimal results it should be served warm. Alternatively, additional ingredients like fresh ginger or green onions can be boiled into it to produce more complex flavors.

Lemon Tek is a method of preparation used for magic mushroom tea that involves soaking the mushrooms in lemon juice before eating them, in order to enhance the experience and ensure their effects occur more rapidly. This technique has proven its worth over time as an aid for faster acting mushrooms.

Mushroom tea may seem like the latest health trend, but its origins actually date back centuries. Siberian tribes have long used powdered chaga in their stews and soups as an immune-enhancing measure, possibly explaining why these tribes live longer lives than those without this source of immunity support.
