Optimal Techniques for Brewing Shroom Tea at Home

While psychedelic mushrooms are enjoyed by many psychonauts in their natural form, not everyone is a fan of their taste or texture. A common alternative is mushroom tea, which offers a calming and effective way to ingest psilocybin while aiding digestion. There are several methods you can master to  brew shroom tea in your own kitchen. This guide will assist you in finding your ideal method to enjoy it repeatedly.

Key Takeaways:

• Brewing tea allows for quicker absorption, enhances taste, and reduces nausea.
• Use hot but not boiling water to prevent damage to the active compound.
• Adding Lion’s Mane and Reishi mushrooms can boost the antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of Psilocybe, positively affecting mood and mental clarity.

Understanding Psilocybin Mushrooms

Psilocybin mushrooms, also known as shrooms or magic mushrooms, are fungi that contain the mind-altering compound psilocybin. This naturally found hallucinogen is present in various species and leads to changes in perception, thought, and mood.

The most prevalent species is Psilocybe cubensis, which has a variety of strains. Each strain has different active ingredients, so the ideal choice would be contingent on your experience level.

Why Opt for Tea Time with Psilocybin?

This method of consumption provides a unique and handy way to experience psychedelic effects. Here are some reasons why it’s favored by many:

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

Getting Ready to Brew a Warm Psilocybin Drink

First and foremost, be aware that making tea with this kind of mushrooms doesn’t require any special abilities. Your goal isn’t to create the perfect drink, but rather to produce something that’s easy to ingest and enjoyable to your taste buds, thus guaranteeing a pleasant experience without any stomach discomfort.

Required Tools and Ingredients

• A coffee filter or sieve
• A cooking pot, pan, or kettle
• A clean grinder
• A teapot (optional)
• A strainer or cheesecloth
• 3.5 grams of mushrooms of your choice

Recipe Instructions

Grinding or Slicing 

Use a knife to cut your chosen fungi into pieces or crush it into tiny fragments. Grinding or slicing increases their surface area, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the process. Breaking it down into smaller pieces or a fine powder allows the water to dissolve the active compounds more effectively. This technique also ensures a faster and more consistent steeping.

Preparing the Water

Fill your pot or kettle with water and heat it until it boils. After it Once the water begins to bubble, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes until it stops boiling. Make sure the water is no longer boiling when you mix it with the powdered or chopped Psilocybe. This technique helps prevent damage to the delicate compounds, sustaining their strength and quality.

Infusion

Allow the hot water to mingle with the substance for a prolonged duration. This phase is vital for enhancing the extraction of active compounds. It helps in disintegrating the matter, making it less harsh to the stomach than when it’s eaten raw. During this time, you may also infuse a tea bag, if desired.

Filtering

After infusion, filter the concoction using a coffee filter or cheesecloth. This stage eliminates the solid residues and yields a smoother, more enjoyable liquid. In addition to enhancing the texture, filtering ensures that only the liquid abundant in active compounds is ingested. It also helps avoid potential digestive issues that could result from eating grainy solids.

Incorporating Flavours (Optional)

If you prefer, you can introduce flavours like sweeteners or lemon to improve the taste, as the natural flavour of Psilocybe could be overpowering and displeasing for some. Ingredients like lemon juice can help convert psilocybin into its more active form, psilocin, possibly enhancing absorption and overall impact.

Mushroom Potion

The procedure mentioned above is an easy way to prepare a hot drink. For a more indulgent experience, contemplate brewing a potion with additional herbs. This recipe enhances the basic method by using a powerful herbal decoction instead of regular hot water. Recommended herbs include ginger (to alleviate stomach discomfort and nausea), medicinal mushrooms (like chaga or reishi), and adaptogens (such as ginseng or ashwagandha).

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Fill a pot with water and position it on your stove.
2. Add your chosen tonic or adaptogenic herbs to the pot. Options could include 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.
