How to Make the Best Magic Mushroom Tea
Tea made from mushroom is an easy and potency method of intaking the psychoactive compounds psilocybin and psilocin. This form of administration has become more and more popular over eating whole mushrooms as it offers faster effects, tastes better, reduces nausea and offers enhanced taste experiences.
Additionally, this technique can provide new insight into a life dilemma or challenge.
Choosing the Right Mushrooms
Mushrooms provide an intriguing range of wellness properties. From improving immune function to offering cognitive enhancements, mushrooms have quickly gained prominence within the wellness industry. One way of experiencing their effects is drinking mushroom tea made with different kinds of mushrooms that each offer their own set of benefits.
Mushrooms contain powerful psychedelic compounds that can alter one’s perception of reality, commonly referred to as magic mushrooms and often consumed through mushroom tea. Before trying them for the first time, however, it is essential that one knows all risks and benefits associated with doing so.
Making the ideal mushroom tea requires selecting the appropriate types of mushrooms for your desired experience. For instance, to achieve natural energy boost, opt for up-regulating mushrooms such as Lion’s Mane or Cordyceps; they’re known to promote focus, clarity, and energy without the jitters or crash associated with caffeine consumption. Or try down-regulating ones such as Reishi or Chaga for reduced stress levels and relaxation.
Many people prefer making their own mushroom tea because it offers a more enjoyable and digestible experience than eating raw mushrooms directly. Eating them directly may cause discomfort and nausea; when turned into tea form they’re easier on digestion and digested quicker.
Mushroom tea can also serve to augment an already nutritious diet by providing antioxidants and other key elements, including vitamins C, E, D, potassium and iron. Some varieties also contain polysaccharides known to stimulate immunity such as turkey tail or maitake mushrooms which contain immunomodulators which enhance immunity and help combat chronic inflammation; others contain Lentinan which has been proven to lower cholesterol and blood pressure – these mushrooms can even be combined with herbs and spices for an immersive tea experience!
Preparing the Mushrooms
To get the best mushroom tea experience, it’s essential that your mushrooms are properly prepared. Grinding up finely exposes more surface area for psilocybin to dissolve more easily into hot water. Selecting appropriate herbs and spices also has a major impact on its effects – some popular choices being chamomile, lemon balm, rose hips, sage leaves and ginger as additions.
If you don’t have a grinder, simply combine chopped mushrooms with hot water in a pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and let sit for 15 minutes – this process is known as decocting mushrooms; doing this will make them more easily soluble while simultaneously extracting more nutrients and flavors from them.
“Lemon tek” tea can also make an amazing and potency treat! Simply by steeping mushrooms in lemon juice for 20-30 minutes, their active compounds psilocybin and psilocin will become more easily absorbed into the body due to being finely ground up allowing more surface area for absorption while the lemon juice kickstarting the conversion of psilocybin into psilocin.
Lemon tek can also help those struggling with nausea. Not only will it lessen any severity of nausea, but also speed up and prolong the start and duration of their trip. Keep in mind that drinking lemon tek will be more intense than ingesting mushrooms as whole pieces; so start off slowly to prevent side effects becoming overwhelming.
Many find it easier and safer to consume mushrooms through tea rather than in their entirety, making this an appealing option for those not looking for an all-out trip experience. As always, it is vital that your environment remains safe and you have someone reliable to accompany you throughout your experience – this will guarantee an enjoyable and memorable journey!
Steeping the Mushrooms
Psychedelic mushrooms have long been used for therapeutic and spiritual reasons. While you can take magic mushrooms in pill form or consume them whole, tea is one of the best ways to experience their effects – making magic mushroom tea increasingly popular with those looking for natural ways to explore mind-body relationships.
As part of its brewing process, mushrooms release earthy flavors into boiling water during the brewing process that result in an earthy-tasting beverage that soothes body and mind alike. Their medicinal and healing properties also penetrate the water, creating a rich and varied taste that many enjoy drinking regularly. Many choose combining various mushroom varieties like lion’s mane and cordyceps into one tea that subtly stimulates both bodies while providing mental clarity and endurance benefits.
Making mushroom tea requires grinding your mushrooms into a fine powder before steeping them for about an hour in hot water, to maximize absorption of psilocin (psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms). Furthermore, grinding increases their surface area so they’re easily absorbed by digestive systems faster compared to whole, dried magic mushrooms which must first be broken down by stomach acid before being digested and assimilated by your system.
Once the mushroom tea is prepared, it is important to add milk of your choice as this will reduce bitterness and soften its taste. A bit of honey may also be added for sweetness while helping mask its taste of psilocin.
Drink the tea and reap its many advantages! Magic mushroom tea can enhance mindfulness, increase concentration and bring about feelings of calm. It may even reduce anxiety and depression; its use has even been proposed as an end-of-life treatment option in cancer patients. However, remember that magic mushroom tea may not be suitable for everyone; for best results always consume it under supervision from someone sober.
Drinking the Mushrooms
Mushrooms have long been consumed as both a plant and medicine in various forms; people may eat them raw, gather them from nature or take capsules. Recently, an increasing number of individuals are opting to drink mushrooms as tea; this has elevated this health food trend beyond being simply trendy health food to become a powerful medicine drink that deserves serious consideration.
Making mushroom tea is an easy process. The key is prepping your mushrooms before beginning; for optimal results, grind your mushroom into powder. This step ensures your body can fully benefit from all its beneficial properties.
Once mushrooms have been ground into powder form, they can be steeped in hot water or another liquid to extract their medicinal compounds and infuse their beneficial properties into the liquid for infusion into tea or more complex herbal blends.
Some individuals prefer brewing one variety of mushroom tea while others like to combine several kinds of them in one cup, like Reishi and Cordyceps Tea for instance; it provides an energizing boost while Reishi’s soothing qualities keep their mind clear and stable. Other popular combinations are Lion’s Mane with Cordyceps which helps calm nerves while increasing focus and mental clarity.
One of the advantages of mushroom tea over other forms of consumption is its ease of consumption, thanks to brewing’s ability to break down cell walls of mushrooms, making their active ingredients, such as psilocybin and psilocin, more readily absorbed by our bodies. As a result, people often experience full effects more quickly when taking mushrooms in tea form rather than when eating raw or taking capsules form.
No matter how mushrooms are consumed, it is key to realize their full health benefits are only achieved if taken on a consistent basis. This applies whether eaten directly, brewed into tea, taken as capsules/tinctures/superfood powders etc… Unlike traditional supplements that provide instantaneous relief of symptoms these mushrooms need regular and consistent intake in order to have any lasting impact on our bodies.
