Optimal Techniques for Brewing Mushroom Tea at Home

While many psychonauts find pleasure in consuming psychedelic mushrooms in their raw form, not everyone enjoys their taste or texture. Mushroom tea is a popular solution, offering a pleasant and effective way to ingest psilocybin while also aiding in digestion. There are various strategies you can learn to master  making shroom tea right in your own kitchen. This guide is designed to help you find your favourite method for enjoying it repeatedly.

Key Takeaways:

• Brewing tea allows for quicker absorption, enhanced taste, and reduced nausea.
• Use hot but not boiling water to prevent harming the active ingredient.
• Adding Lion’s Mane and Reishi mushrooms can enhance the antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects of Psilocybe, positively affecting mood and mental clarity.

Understanding Psilocybin Mushrooms

Psilocybin mushrooms, also known as shrooms or magic mushrooms, are a type of fungus that contains the psychoactive compound psilocybin. This naturally-occurring hallucinogen is found in several species and can alter perception, thinking, and mood.

The most commonly found species is Psilocybe cubensis, which is available in a variety of strains. Every strain contains different active substances, so the best choice would depend on your experience level.

Why Opt for Tea Time with Psilocybin?

This method of consumption provides a unique and easy way to experience psychedelic effects. It’s favoured by many for several reasons:

• Faster Absorption: Compounds in liquid form are absorbed more quickly.
• Reduced Nausea: It’s gentler on the stomach compared to eating raw or dried mushrooms.
• Better Taste: It helps mask the earthy flavour.
• Easy Preparation: It’s straightforward and simple.

How to Brew a Comforting Psilocybin Tea

First and foremost, it’s essential to remember that brewing tea with these particular mushrooms doesn’t require any special expertise. The goal isn’t to create a perfect drink, but rather to whip up something tasty and easy to consume, which will provide a delightful experience without any digestive discomfort.

Required Equipment and Ingredients

• A coffee filter or sieve
• A saucepan, pot, or kettle
• A clean grinder
• An optional teapot
• A strainer or cheesecloth
• 3.5 grams of mushrooms of your choice

• Extra flavorings such as honey, herbs, and so on
• 2 cups of water
• Maple syrup (for sweetening)

Detailed Recipe

Grinding or Chopping 

Slice your chosen mushrooms with a knife or crush them into small pieces. Grinding or chopping increases their surface area, making the process more efficient. Breaking it down into smaller bits or a fine powder allows the water to dissolve the active compounds more effectively. This approach also guarantees a faster and more consistent steeping.

Preparing the Water

Fill your pot or kettle with water and heat it until it boils. Once Once the water begins to boil, take it off the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes until it stops boiling. It’s imperative that your water isn’t boiling when you mix it into the Psilocybe, whether it’s powdered or chopped up. This procedure prevents the breakdown of delicate compounds, preserving their strength and quality.

Steeping

Allow the hot water to mingle with the Psilocybe for a prolonged period. This is an essential step as it optimizes the extraction of active compounds. It also breaks down the Psilocybe, making it easier to digest than if consumed raw. You may also choose to steep a tea bag during this time.

Straining

Once the steeping is complete, filter the concoction using a coffee filter or cheesecloth. This process eliminates solid particles, resulting in a smoother, tastier liquid. In addition to improving the texture, straining ensures that only the active compound-rich liquid is ingested. It also helps to avoid possible digestive discomfort from consuming gritty solids.

Adding Flavourings (Optional)

If you prefer, you can add flavourings like sweeteners or lemon to improve the taste, as the natural flavour of Psilocybe may be too strong and not appealing to some. Ingredients such as lemon juice can help convert psilocybin into a more active form, psilocin, potentially enhancing absorption and overall effects.

Mushroom Elixir

The above process is a straightforward method for creating a hot beverage. For a more complex experience, consider crafting an elixir with additional herbs. This recipe enhances the basic method by substituting plain hot water with a strong herbal decoction. Recommended herbs include ginger (for soothing stomach discomfort and nausea), medicinal mushrooms (like chaga or reishi), and adaptogens (such as ginseng or ashwagandha).

Follow this step-by-step guide:

1. Fill a pot with water and put it on the stove.
2. Add your chosen tonic herbs or adaptogens to the pot. Possible options are reishi, ginger, ginseng, ashwagandha, or chaga.
3. Let it simmer for 20–30 minutes to produce a herbal decoction.
4. Filter the decoction and allow it to cool down a bit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do hot beverages stay fresh?

To maintain peak quality, treat it like a beverage you’d buy from the grocery store. Once made, keep it in the fridge and plan to drink it within one to two weeks from the brewing date.

While the dry version can last several months when stored properly, the liquid form considerably shortens their shelf life.

What are other effective methods for consuming Psilocybe cubensis?

Lemon tek is another method that involves grinding or finely chopping the Psilocybe and soaking it in lemon juice for approximately 20-30 minutes. The citric acid in the lemon aids in breaking down the active ingredient, making it easier for the body to absorb.

Should the powder be discarded after straining?

Although some people prefer to throw away the powder, there are other options. You can consume the leftover powder or keep it in your freezer for future use.
