Magic mushrooms contain psilocin, which when taken orally converts into mind-altering trips. You can consume it either whole as dried mushroom pieces, ground into powder form and put into capsules, or steeped into tea.

Misidentification can have dangerous repercussions; in one instance, an individual brewed tea from incorrect mushrooms and injected it directly into his bloodstream, leading to fungal infection and multisystem organ failure.

Ingredients

Magic mushrooms are an addictive mind-altering drug with potentially negative side effects. By stimulating certain receptors in the brain, magic mushrooms interact with reality receptors and can alter one’s perception of reality as well as cause hallucinations. People use magic mushrooms in various ways such as eating them directly or making tea from them; it is important to be aware of all associated risks prior to trying this drug as well as how best to prepare and drink mushroom tea properly.

First, measure out how much dried mushrooms you plan to use in your tea. Starting small to avoid adverse side effects is best; as a beginner you might try starting off using only 1 to 2 grams at first and gradually increase it as needed.

Once the water boils, reduce it to a simmer and allow the mushrooms to steep for at least 20 minutes before reducing further heat or overdoing them as this will degrade their active ingredient, psilocybin.

Once the mushrooms have steeped, take care to strain the tea through either a coffee filter or fine mesh strainer – or press and squeeze the solids of mushrooms if you desire, to extract more liquid from them.

Serving mushroom tea mindfully requires 20-40 minutes before its effects take hold, lasting 6 hours on average. If nausea strikes again after drinking this second cup, consider adding sugar.

Preparation

Before beginning to make mushroom tea, measure out your desired dosage. This will ensure that you achieve your desired effects when taking the tea; typically 1 to 2 grams of dried magic mushrooms is usually sufficient. Once you have determined this dose, grind or chop up your mushrooms into smaller pieces for easier extraction of psilocybin.

Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer as high temperatures can degrade psilocybin and diminish potency. Once your mushrooms have steeped for 15-20 minutes, strain your liquid using either a coffee filter or fine mesh strainer; to further extract more psilocybin use press and squeeze your mushroom solids if necessary.

Psilocybin mushroom tea is an increasingly popular method of taking magic mushrooms, but it is crucial that users understand its effects and potential side-effects before doing so. Misuse could result in unwanted side-effects as well as cause lasting harm to themselves and others.

Infusion time

Infusion is the process of immersing botanicals such as herbs, flowers, or berries into liquid to release their active ingredients and improve health benefits. This liquid can include water, oil, or alcohol and the result can then be consumed or stored for later use – using metal steepers (which resemble clamps) and tea infusers are two accessories commonly used to infuse liquids successfully.

Psilocybin mushroom tea is made by steeping psilocybin mushrooms in hot water for 20-40 minutes and then drinking to consume the psychedelic compounds psilocybin and psilocin, which induce altered states of consciousness and pleasurable feelings. These effects may last for 6 hours depending on dosage, individual physiology, duration and the individual experience; effects should start occurring between 20-40 minutes after ingestion.

Disposal

Once your mushroom tea has been prepared, store it in an airtight and cool environment before refrigerating for later consumption. Psilocybin can degrade over time when exposed to heat sources; to extend its potency make sure not to reheat before refrigerating again. It should last several days in your fridge before needing to be consumed as quickly as possible.

Mushroom tea can be created from both fresh and dried mushrooms. When making mushroom tea using fresh mushrooms, wash and slice into small pieces; alternatively you could use a food processor. After your mushrooms have been chopped up, mix them with hot water and let the tea steep for 20 to 30 minutes before straining it to remove solid particles from the mixture.

Use a coffee filter to aid this step of preparation, after straining the tea you can press or squeeze the liquid to extract as much psilocybin as possible – though be wary not to overdo it as this could result in bitter flavors becoming present in your final product.

When making tea from dry mushrooms, take the necessary steps to measure your desired dosage of psilocybin. This is essential as it ensures you receive an ideal amount of the substance in your beverage. You may also add lemon juice as an effective solvent that can speed up extraction processes.

Once your water reaches a boil, lower the heat to simmer; do not vigorously boil the mushrooms as this could destroy their psilocybin content. After about 20 minutes of steeping time has passed, remove from heat and strain liquid for use as tea – adding sugar may further sweeten it if desired; Don Quixote himself enjoyed tea made with honey to help settle his stomach!
