Whether you’re a beginner to shroom tea or an experienced explorer of psychedelic experiences, we’ll take you through everything you need to know — from recipes and techniques to the benefits of sipping your way to mindfulness.
What Is Magic Mushroom Tea?
Steeping psilocybin-containing mushrooms (commonly known as ‘shrooms’) in hot water makes magic mushroom tea. The process of making psilocybin tea makes it easier and often quicker to take than eating raw mushrooms. Drinking psychedelic tea has been a centuries-old practice for spiritual insight and healing, used in rituals and ceremonies by various cultures.
Why Choose Magic Mushroom Tea Over Eating Shrooms?
While chewing dried mushrooms is the most traditional method of consuming psilocybin, many prefer brewing mushroom tea for several reasons:
- Faster Onset: Psilocybin from tea is absorbed by the body more quickly, which means the psychedelic experience comes on faster.
- Gentler on the Stomach: Shroom tea can help reduce the nausea of eating raw mushrooms.
- Better Taste: Infusing shrooms into tea diffuses their earthy flavour and makes it all the more pleasant.
- Controlled Dosage: Tea form makes it easier to adjust the dosage and is more manageable.
The Mindful Tea Experience
What Is Mindfulness?
It’s being mindful, i.e., fully present in the moment, however judged. Mindfulness combined with the gentle, introspective effects of magic mushroom tea can result in very deep experiences of clarity, emotional insight, and connection with the world around you.
Preparation and consumption with intention and awareness are not only what a mindful tea experience is about—it is also about drinking the tea. However, this could even make the process of making mushroom tea a meditative experience and really round out your journey.
Step-by-Step Guide to Brewing Magic Mushroom Tea
Are you ready to make your own magic mushroom tea? This step-by-step guide to mindful magic mushroom tea brewing will ensure a smooth and introspective experience.
Ingredients and Tools You’ll Need
- Dried magic mushrooms (adjust amount according to experience) — 1-3 grams.
- 2 cups of water
- A teapot or saucepan
- A strainer or cheesecloth
- Helps with the extraction process (optional, lemon juice)
- Or, if you’re feeling extra fancy, a touch of ginger or some honey (optional to combat nausea and add flavour).
- Your favourite mug
Step 1: Preparation and Mindfulness
First, settle into one point of focus before you put a drop of anything into a brew pot. Deep breath and intention for your psychedelic experience. Whether it’s self-discovery, healing, or creative exploration, having a clear intention can help you get there.
Step 2: Grind the Magic Mushrooms
Grind your dried magic mushrooms finely to increase their surface area and psilocybin extraction. You can break them apart by hand or use a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.
Step 3: Boil Water and Add Lemon (Optional)
Boil 2 cups of water gently. To speed up the psilocybin extraction process, add a splash of lemon juice to the water. The acidity also helps convert psilocybin to psilocin, giving you a faster onset of effects.
Step 4: Steep the Shrooms
Reduce the heat and add the ground mushrooms to hot (not boiling) water. Infuse the mushroom in 10 to 15 minutes. Keep stirring and be mindful during this time.
Step 5: Strain and Flavor
Simply steep until you like it, and strain the tea into the mug with a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Add ginger, honey, or another herbal tea to improve the flavour and help with digestion.
Step 6: Sip with Intention
If you drink your magic mushroom tea, stay in the present moment. Know the warmth, the flavours, and your breath. Let the effects happen slowly and observe your thoughts without judgment.
