A good cup of tea is a magical thing, but have you ever tried magic mushroom tea? It’s a tasty and refreshingly effective option to help you better enjoy your psychedelic journey.

Let’s learn more why magic mushroom tea is so popular! We’ll look at the benefits and explore the secrets to experiencing the best shroom brew.

As you likely know, there is more than one way to take magic mushrooms. When they are eaten straight up (dried or fresh), most people agree that they taste pretty terrible and sometimes cause nausea and stomach upset; but they gladly endure it for the amazing benefits felt afterwards.

Luckily, for those who don’t enjoy eating them plain, you can find psilocybin products in tablet or capsule form (perfect for microdosing), in sweets like chocolate or candy edibles, enjoyed in baked or savoury goods, or brewed in a hot cup of tea. Experiment with different methods to find the one that works best for you.

The impressive potential for psilocybin to treat mental health and other wellness-related issues continues to be studied and shared, resulting in more curiosity and acceptance about magic mushrooms. This has led to people feeling more comfortable trying them out and experiencing the benefits for themselves – but they just aren’t sure where to start.

What are the advantages of drinking magic mushroom tea instead of eating them?

• Tastes better – why suffer through chewing on harsh-tasting magic mushrooms when you can enjoy a soothing warm drink?
• Stomach upset – steeping in hot water breaks down those hard to digest, tough mushrooms meaning your stomach doesn’t have to work so hard. Less nausea is a good thing.
• The trip often takes effect sooner than eating mushrooms and can be more intense.

Whether you microdose, practice psychedelic therapy, or enjoy a good old-fashioned party dose with friends, why not learn how to make the perfect psychoactive brew?

If you are using dried mushrooms, they should be carefully cultivated and tested for a safe, elevated experience. You will need the following items in addition to a kettle, cup/mug, water, and of course, your mushrooms.

1. Scale
2. Coffee grinder or mortar and pestle
3. Fine mesh strainer (or a coffee filter or refillable/disposable tea filter bags)
4. Add-on items include fresh lemon, honey, sugar, finely chopped ginger, or any flavoured, fave teabags

• Grind or finely chop your mushrooms (even as fine as a powder will work)
• Measure your amount carefully. For an experienced shroomer, 2 or 3 grams may be good, but the best advice is to always start small to avoid a bad trip
• Boil the kettle (but let it sit for a minute to cool slightly) then pour the hot water over the mushrooms in your mug or teapot – you can add ginger now or later
• Let it sit for 10-15 minutes (you can add an herbal teabag for added flavour)
• Strain the mushrooms (or leave them in but it could cause some stomach upset)
• Add your honey, sweetener or lemon
• Sip away slowly over 15 or so minutes
• Throw away mushroom leftovers

This is the easiest method – no measuring or grinding or guesswork involved! Simply boil the kettle,
then add it to your cup with your magic tea bag, add sweetener if desired.

Keep in mind that when you drink magic tea or eat mushrooms, there is a possibility of having a bad trip. Make sure you plan ahead for a great trip and ensure a positive set and setting.

For so many people, brewing shroom tea is their favourite way to enjoy magic mushrooms. It helps with digestive concerns, offers up a slightly different type of psychedelic trip, and adds to the anticipation when you have a set routine to get started.
