HEMPEARTH – How To Make Magic Mushrooms Tea

Magic mushrooms have been used for thousands of years for spiritual and healing purposes. Today, these powerful fungi are finding their place in modern society for similar reasons, and magic mushroom tea has become a popular method of consumption.

Magic mushroom tea provides a comfortable and controllable way to enjoy the psychedelic effects of magic mushrooms. You can avoid common side effects by brewing them into a tea and personalize your experience with your favourite flavours.

The Appeal of Magic Mushroom Tea
Magic mushroom tea is favoured for several reasons, the most prominent being the reduced risk of experiencing nausea, a common side effect when consuming raw mushrooms due to their chitin content.

The active compounds are extracted into the water by making tea, allowing you to experience the psychoactive effects without consuming the indigestible mushroom matter. This can make for a more comfortable psychedelic journey.

Moreover, magic mushroom tea can have a faster onset of effects due to the rapid absorption of the active compounds in liquid form. This allows users to prepare for and control their trip more effectively, making it a preferred method for beginners.

Choosing the Right Mushrooms
The first step in making magic mushroom tea is sourcing your mushrooms. There are many different types of psilocybe cubensis, like Golden Teacher, Penis Envy, Albinos, Blue Meanies, B+, etc. each offering different potency levels and effects.

Psilocybe cubensis is the most commonly available and used variety due to its moderate potency and widespread growth. However, the choice depends on your preference, availability, and desired intensity of effects.

Preparing the Mushrooms
Once you have your mushrooms, the next step is to prepare them for brewing. Dry magic mushrooms are typically used for making tea.

For dry mushrooms, you should grind them into a fine powder using a grinder. This increases the surface area and allows for more efficient extraction of the psilocybin.

Remember that psilocybin is sensitive to high temperatures and prolonged heat exposure, which could lead to potency loss. Hence, following the following steps carefully is crucial to ensure effective extraction while preserving the active compounds.

Enhancing the Flavor
There are many ways to make your magic mushroom tea more palatable. You can add a tea bag of your favourite flavour during brewing – chamomile, mint, and lemon ginger are popular choices. After brewing, honey, lemon juice, or ginger can be added to mask the mushroom taste and enhance the overall flavour.

Here are some magic tea recipes. Keep in mind that psilocybin gets destroyed by heat, so always use temperatures below the boiling point.

HONEY TEA

This is the most basic tea out there, sweetened up a bit.

1. Cut the dose of shrooms into small pieces. The smaller they are, the more surface area will be exposed, which means the psilocybin will infuse into your tea much more efficiently.
2. Boil some water
3. Allow the water to cool for a few minutes. You want it to be hot, but not boiling.
4. Place your shrooms in tea infuser and pour over them the hot water.
5. Allow the mixture too steep for 10 – 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Strain the tea into another cup.
7. Add honey and enjoy.

If you want to get every single drop of magic out of the shrooms you can repeat the steps one more time on the material you filtered out from the first cup. You’ll end up with a highly concentrated cup of magic tea.

LEMON ELIXIR

Made with fresh lemon juice, this variation adds a some zest to the experience. And that’s why: The acidity of fresh lemon juice converts psilocybin in to psilocin, making the experience come on faster and stronger, but it doesn’t last quite as long as a regular trip. Essentially, adding lemon juice takes off some work from the stomach, which does that conversion for you.

1. Cut up your shrooms into small pieces to maximize surface area.
2. Put the shrooms in a cup and add in some freshly squeezed lemon juice.
3. Allow the mushrooms to sit in the lemon juice for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Boil some water.
5. Once boiled allow it to sit for a few minutes before pouring it into the lemon mixture.
6. Allow the mixture too steep for 15-20 minutes, stirring it occasionally.
7. Enjoy!

GINGER TWIST TEA

This recipe puts a little more spice into the experience, making for a tasty treat. The taste of licorice goes particularly well with mushrooms, plus it’s a very healthy herb. Either use cut and dried licorice or a tea bag that contains some.

1. Cut the shrooms up into small pieces to increase the surface area.
2. Place the truffles and licorice tea into a cup.
3. Boil some water.
4. Allow the water to cool for a moment, then pour it into the cup.
5. Add in a small amount of ginger and a twist of fresh orange juice – the combination of these works to help settle any stomach upset as well as put in a bit of acidity.
6. Steep the mixture for 10 -15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Drink!

With these recipes in hand you will now have some varied ways to ingest the magic – all in a stomach friendly.
