How to Make Fresh Magic Mushroom Tea
Mushroom tea is an enjoyable way to consume magic mushrooms without needing to chew or digest them, with each steeped mushroom providing delicate infusion of flavor while simultaneously unlocking many of their medicinal and nutritional properties. As a result, mushroom tea provides numerous health benefits to aid mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.
To maximize your psilocybin experience, it’s essential that you find an optimal method of consumption. Though eating magic mushrooms whole may be possible, depending on your sensitivity levels and tolerance levels; other forms such as tea can provide more versatility while being more stomach friendly – creating an unforgettable psychedelic journey than simply swallowing whole mushrooms whole.
There are various techniques for making mushroom tea, but decoction remains the most popular approach. Decoction involves simmering mushrooms in hot water for roughly 20 minutes in order to extract their chemical compounds into liquid form – then drinking or using later as needed (also great for future reference!). Once finished, decoction can then be stored for later use if required.
While many people opt to make mushroom tea through decoction, another simpler process involves infusing. You simply boil the mushroom for a short period in water; this method provides an opportunity to test out mushroom tea before embarking on more involved preparation methods such as making decoctions.
Lemon-tek-style mushroom tea can also be made, which resembles the above but with citric acid added. When mixed with citric acid, psilocybin and psilocin convert more rapidly to their active forms as the acid in your stomach accelerates this reaction; and therefore effects may come quicker than mushroom tea alone.
When embarking on your mushroom tea experiment, it’s essential that you have all of the appropriate equipment on hand. A reliable grinder will allow you to reduce dried mushrooms into fine powder while kettle and mugs will provide all of the essentials.
As an added benefit, using lemon to improve psilocybin tea consumption will enable a more consistent high when employing the lemon tek technique. Acid will convert any psilocin or psilocybin present into its active forms for more consistent doses throughout your trip. No matter which method you employ when taking magic mushrooms, making sure it’s done in an effective manner will guarantee an enjoyable, educational, and spiritual journey!
