If you ever get chills with that first sip of tea, then that right there is the difference between regular tea and great tea- especially if you made it with your hands, with so much attention and devotion. It hits different, doesn’t it? That said, one other important thing is to use great quality ingredients- only use the best-dried magic mushrooms (to increase shelf-life) for your magic mushroom tea.
You can select a loose-leaf tea of your choice, either a black or herbal tea. But try to steer clear of caffeinated tea like green tea since it’ll have the same effect as it would with coffee, making you feel restless. In addition, the presence of uppers will add nothing but possible discomfort (both physically and emotionally) to your psychedelic experience.
Psilocybin-containing mushrooms were used by indigenous people in many cultures for thousands of years as medicine. Currently, its hailed by researchers globally as a ‘breakthrough treatment.’ That delicious magic mushroom tea mug comes with many benefits that can help with stress and trauma-related health conditions such as:
You’d wonder, “Why magic mushroom tea?”. Yes, deep breaths of the inky indigo depths of a psilocybin mushroom tea can be exhilarating, but that’s not only why people prefer drinking it. Having magic mushrooms in the form of a steeped tea is a go-to method for many people who want to consume magic mushrooms as opposed to munching them down.
The reasoning for this is 2-fold:
Making mushroom tea is one of the easiest ways of consuming magic mushrooms, and there are different ways to do this, with other ingredients that you can find in your kitchen. For example, some people add other tea bags for shroom tea, such as green tea or chamomile tea. Alternatively, you can make more sensual mushroom tea fusions using hibiscus or licorice root to mask that earthy taste from raw mushrooms.
By adding lemon juice, ginger, honey, maple syrup, lemon peel, orange juice, or other citrus fruits, you also spike up a different taste and help with the digestion of raw magic mushrooms. Essentially, converting your shrooms into tea is actually one way of extracting the psilocybin from the magic mushrooms. Chitin makes up the fungi’s cell walls, and by letting your psychedelic mushrooms sit in hot water or tea for 1o-15 minutes, components of the mushroom, including the chitin, begin to break down.
Making homemade psilocybin extract tea gives you psychedelic tea that’s easier on your stomach and less nauseating. Just like lemon tek, mushroom tea can make the psychedelic trip come on a lot faster and a bit more intense, but for a slightly shorter time. The difference, however, is that lemon tekking goes an extra mile with the use of citric acid.
The lemon juice containing citric acid converts the psilocybin in the magic mushroom into psilocin. When making both the magic mushroom tea and lemon tek, you’ll need to finely grind your magic mushrooms into a fine powder; first, part of the reason it absorbs faster and feels stronger has to do with surface area. Basically, this is done to maximize surface area to help your gastrointestinal system and intestines to absorb better and more rapidly.
On the other hand, chewing or swallowing dried mushrooms simply doesn’t create as much of an evenly dispersed area as the powdered mushrooms, meaning that it’ll take your stomach much longer to digest and absorb all the psychoactive content.
Besides making the magic mushroom tea in your desired dosage, the tripping might dawn a little faster and relatively stronger. Some people say that the type of herbs, tea bag, or fruit you use in your shroom tea could result in different mushroom experiences.
For instance, drinking mushroom tea gives you a calming sensation when used with lavender and an arousal effect with Catuaba bark. The art of tea is all in the art of herbal alchemy, which helps bring up psilocybin’s ability to change the ‘feeling state’ to one where the ‘feeling’ is an ‘act of perception.’
If you have magic mushrooms for the first time, here are a few things to note about shrooms:
a) Weigh out the dose of magic mushrooms that will be enough for your tea
PS: If you don’t have a scale, you definitely need one in this. There’s nothing worse than having a little more than you meant to and then finding out a couple of hours later- especially if you’re alone
b) Grind the magic mushrooms into a mushroom powder. Feel free to use either a cannabis grinder or coffee grinder. Remember, you need to increase the area of the mushrooms to allow maximum contact with the tea for the best results. Transfer the ground mushrooms into a cup
c) Pour 2 cups of just water into the saucepan or kettle and let it boil
d) Let it cool down a little, then pour hot water (1 cup) in the cup containing the ground mushrooms
e) Add your choice of tea bag and leave it to infuse to your level of preference and, then remove it
f) Filter out the remnants of the shrooms from the cup and put them aside
g) Boil the water from the second cup using your kettle or saucepan
g) As it’s heating up, add honey (1 tablespoon), some pieces of ginger and (optionally) a splash of the lemon juice
h) Once boiled, add the second tea bag and let it brew as it cools down a little
i) Take the two separate brews and mix them into the mixing bowl
j) Now you have a fully prepared magic mushroom tea that’s both potent and tastes great. Pour it into your favorite mug or teapot that you can slowly drink up
If you’re going to have some shroom tea, then you must realize that your trip might kick in a lot sooner and be stronger. With this in mind, ensure that you’re in an environment where you feel safe and have a support trip sitter, especially if it’s your first time having shroom tea.
General, studies have confirmed that, unlike other drugs, psilocybin is relatively safe, but with a few exceptions for people with;
People with such medical backgrounds should not do shrooms before consulting with a physician or psychedelic integration therapist.
If you’re going to combine your shrooms with tea, here are some teas that have incredible qualities to make the experience a lot more delightful.
A) Chamomile
Chamomile should help with the potential side effects that come with shroom trip. It has a great calming effect on the digestive system and helps prevent nausea. It also helps calm your mind and help with anxiety. You can have chamomile as a tea bag or loose leaf tea in your cup of ground shrooms. Chamomile also works incredibly well with dried rose and dried lavender.
B) Tulsi
This is an underrated medicinal herb that’s also known as Holy basil. It’s a gentle adaptogen known to improve one’s moods and calm the nervous system. There’s real power in combining shrooms with herbs and other mushrooms. There are also plenty of benefits of medicinal mushrooms (non-psychedelic shrooms), and Tulsi is one of the most revered. This is a great tea to drink before, after or while on your trip.
C) Passionflower and Skullcap
These 2 nervine herbs are frequently consumed together. They help a lot with anxiety and those negative thought loops.
D) Ginger
If you’re a newbie and tripping for the first time, this is an absolute must, especially if you’re a little concerned about nausea. A hot ginger root tea with honey and shrooms doesn’t only help with potential nausea, but it also helps with digestion, especially if you just had food. However, you should get the nearly 100% cold-pressed ginger since most shots often include cane sugar, coconut water, apple cider vinegar, etc., and this might not do the trick.
E) Lavender
Lavender is also another great idea really. It helps combat stress and promotes relaxation, especially if you’re nervous about tripping. Essential oils are also a great game-changer.
Psilocybin mushrooms aren’t the only mushrooms you can use to make shroom tea or tinctures. For instance, traditional Chinese medicine or ancient Tibetan medicine integrates different fungi varieties like the Cordyceps and herbs like ginger.
Traditional healers use C. Sinensis mushroom species like Keera jhar or Yarsa gumba for body disease treatment only. These can be used with other herbs. Other non-psychedelic shrooms include Shiitake, Reishi, or Maitake that have also been used in the treatment of body ailments such as cancer. They are combined with lemon juice, green tea, coconut milk, vanilla, and other ingredients.
Yes, they lose a little potency when put in boiling water at 100°C. At this high temperature, the psilocin that’s least stable deteriorates away. Psilocybin is a lot more resistant.
For this reason, it’s important to always give the hot water in the cup a couple of minutes to get to a temperature that’s less destructive to the active ingredients. The mushroom recipe given is designed to safeguard the mushrooms’ potency to make sure you don’t lose anything as you gain the flavor and reduce the nausea as you brew tea.
Making the tea is one way to avoid eating the mushrooms since as they sit in your body before working, it is a period in which you risk developing nausea. So if you’re trying to avoid nausea, go ahead and throw them away.
Some shrooms would be more preferred at certain times of the day due to the different functional properties each shroom has. That said, you can consume any of the teas at whatever hour of the day every day. Regularly drinking mushroom tea will help you stay hydrated and may also support your overall health.
