How To Make Magic Mushroom Tea
Making Shroom Tea- The Ultimate Guide
Psilocybin mushrooms do much more than get you high. They are believed to ease anxiety, increase productivity, and even guide you toward enlightenment. However, are there benefits to drinking mushroom tea rather than chewing them whole?
Magic mushrooms are becoming more and more popular all over the world. Once regarded as a teenage obsession, mushrooms have found their way onto many people’s kitchen cabinets- young and older alike.
There are many ways to consume these magical plants. People generally prefer going for a means that masks the earthy, sometimes bitter, taste of mushrooms. Shroom chocolates are a great example. At the same time, others love chewing them dried and raw; with this method, it may take a while for the effects to kick in as the mushrooms have to be digested by the stomach first.
Shroom tea is also another popular method of ingesting psilocybin mushrooms. Many psilocybin enthusiasts have reported feeling stronger effects much quicker after drinking shroom tea.
But, is this real, or is it just another handmaid’s tale?
The Benefits Of Making Shroom Tea Vs. Eating Mushrooms
If you’ve eaten dried mushrooms raw before, you probably felt nauseated afterward– like your stomach was taking on more than it can handle.
According to Seth Warner, brewing your shrooms into some sort of tea will help the situation. Warner is the founder of MycoRising, one of the more popular resources on psilocybin mushrooms.
Psilocybin is the chemical responsible for all the psychedelic effects users experience when they consume mushrooms. And, according to Warner, magic mushrooms pack most of their psilocin and psilocybin in their cell walls.
There’s a catch, though.
Mushrooms are technically fungi and not ‘plants’; therefore, instead of cellulose, their cell walls are made of chitin, a tough, fibrous substance.
Chitin is also found in the exoskeleton of many insects and acts as a protective layer to the insects’ internal organs.
Therefore, as you can imagine, the chitin layer in magic mushrooms is very hard to digest. This is why you should know how to make shroom tea.
Mushroom Tea Is Easier To Digest
According to Seth Warner, most people’s bodies lack chitinase, the enzyme that, ideally, would break down the chitin present in mushrooms. This is why many people’s stomachs feel upset after consuming raw mushrooms. (The fact that mushrooms are so hard to digest is why it takes 1-2 hours for the full effects to kick in. It’s also why psychonauts recommend rigorous chewing before you swallow your magic mushrooms.)
On the other hand, allowing your mushrooms to steep in hot water helps break down the chitin cell-walls; doing this essentially creates a potent homemade psilocybin extract. If you know how to make tea with shroom powder, you should stick to this method.
Powder has a larger surface area than dried mushroom stems; this makes it much easier for the body to absorb it.) As a result, the effects kick in much quicker than they would have if you ate raw mushrooms.
Preparing Mushroom Tea Is A Grounding, Meditative Experience
Aside from the fact that mushroom tea is easier to digest and kicks in faster than raw mushrooms, many users have reported that they find the preparation process quite therapeutic. You see, it’s more than just ‘activating’ your mushrooms.
The 10-15 minutes your mushrooms are steeping in hot, boiling water are the best time to prepare for your trip mentally. Clear your mind and do a quick meditation; check in with yourself and figure out your intentions for this trip.
Focus on your breathing, on the heaving and puffing of your teapot, on the earthy musky mushroom scent- be in the now. That’s the first step to enjoying your mushroom tea experience.
Shroom Effects: How Long Does Shroom Tea Last?
If you’re wondering how to make mushroom tea, this is the time to break it to you. It’s not a complicated process at all; after two or three brews, you’ll be making your own shroom tea recipe.
Making shroom tea is an art that will grow on you the more you do it. You will soon get a feel for it; you’ll understand its effects much better over time and will find it easier to measure your dosage as time goes by.
You’ll also get to know how to make tea with shroom powder and how long a shroom tea trip lasts.
Shroom tea often lasts a bit shorter than dried mushroom edibles but offers a much stronger experience. And, according to experts in the field of psilocybin, the other ingredients you put into your shroom tea may enhance its overall effects.
How To Make Shroom Tea At Home
Whether you want to buy shroom tea bags online or have grown your own magic mushrooms, it’s important to know how to make your mushroom tea.
There are myriad shroom tea recipes on blogs and online enthusiasts’ forums; if you’re new to the art of making shroom tea, it may be a good idea to start off simple.
What you need
- A measure/scale
- Mushrooms/ Mushroom powder
- Honey
- A slice of lemon (optional)
- Ginger (optional)
- Teabags (optional)
- Cannabis/ coffee grinder
Procedure
- Measure out your mushrooms. This is an incredibly important step and is the factor that will determine the kind of trip you’ll have. If you don’t have a scale, you could try out teas like Psilocybin Mushroom Tea By Tea-Luminary (6X400MG) whose psilocybin doses are clearly indicated.
In terms of dosage: up to 0.5g (500mg) is considered a micro-dose, between 0.5g – 1.5g a light dose, 1.5g-2.5g a normal dose, 2.5g – 4g a high dose, 4g and up – a heroic dose.
- Grind your mushrooms into shroom powder.
- To spice up the drink and alleviate digestive discomfort, chop up some ginger. Mix the ginger and shroom powder in a medium-sized bowl.
- Boil water in a kettle.
- Pour the hot water (not boiling water) over the mushroom and ginger mixture, and let it steep for 10-15 minutes. If you’d like, you can squeeze a slice or two of lemon into the brew. (Read on to learn why lemon juice is so important when making shroom tea.)
- Using a strainer/sieve, take out the mushroom and ginger bits in your shroom tea.
- Add some honey for taste. Enjoy your drink!
If you’ve ever bought shroom tea online in Canada, you’ve probably learned that it’s best to drink your shroom tea slowly. Doing so ensures that the onset of your mushroom trip is slow and manageable.
Downing your entire cup of tea will cause the effects to kick in quickly, sometimes quicker than most people prefer. It’s best to ease into your high.
Does Lemon Tekking Enhance Mushroom Trips?
It’s a popular theory among mycologists and psilocybin enthusiasts that lemon juice helps enhance the effects of magic mushrooms. There are varying explanations as to why this is the case.
When mushrooms are ingested as shroom chocolates, psilocybin is broken down into psilocin- in a process called dephosphorylation. This happens in the stomach, where the pH is acidic 1.5-3.
Lemons contain quite a bit of citric acid, whose pH lies between 2 and 2.6. Adding lemon juice to your mushroom tea helps replicate the environment in your stomach. This, therefore, (theoretically) speeds up the conversion of psilocybin to psilocin.
It also potentially facilitates the digestion of the chitin cell walls, making the psilocin and psilocybin more bioavailable. This is why Lemon Tekking is so famous. By breaking down the chitin cell walls, this method does a lot of the work for your stomach; this helps prevent the nausea often associated with eating mushrooms.
Is It Safe To Buy Shroom Tea Online In Canada?
Buying shroom tea online is one of the safest ways to experience magic mushrooms. You should buy your mushroom products from a legitimate and customer-centered retailer.
Such a seller will provide only the best quality mushrooms and will make sure to label their teas with an accurate psilocybin content.
This helps reduce the risks of taking too much and experiencing a bad trip.
Our diverse catalogue of products has something for everybody. Lucidi-tea, for example, will help boost your mental clarity and creativity, making it ideal if you’re stuck in a rut but trying to work on a creative project.
Cogni-tea, on the other hand, will help elevate your focus and boost your brainpower. Whether you’re working on a term paper or writing a feature piece, this may just be the boost you need.
Our products contain 400 mg of psilocybin per tea bag; this is a small dose that makes for a slightly elevated experience without the overwhelming psychedelic effects. This is the perfect creative dose. However, if you’d like to experience a stronger and more intense trip, you’re welcome to steep 2 or more teabags.
Well, now you know how to make shroom tea. You and your friends are going to have a blast.
