How to Make Magic Mushroom Tea

Magic mushrooms, known for their natural antidepressant, anti-addictive, and pro-social benefits, are gaining interest for their potential to improve overall mental health. One popular method of consumption is psilocybin tea, which offers a convenient and enjoyable way to ingest these beneficial fungi. Psilocybin, the primary psychoactive component, is quickly broken down into psilocin by stomach acids, and its effects typically last no more than six hours per dose.

What Is Psilocybin Tea?

Psilocybin tea is a drink made from the psychoactive mushroom psilocybe. The tea is made by boiling the mushrooms in water, then straining the liquid and drinking it. Psilocybin tea has been used for centuries in religious ceremonies and healing rituals. Today, it is also being explored for its potential therapeutic benefits in mental health treatments.

Research is increasingly showing that psilocybin can help alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. Clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy in creating profound and lasting positive changes in mood and cognition. As the stigma around psychedelic substances decreases, psilocybin tea is gaining recognition not just as a spiritual tool, but as a legitimate treatment option in modern medicine.

How to Make Psilocybin Tea

Making psilocybin tea requires only a few simple steps, but it is important to follow them carefully for the best results.

What You’ll Need:

• Dried or fresh magic mushrooms (1-2 grams per cup of tea)
• Water (1 cup per serving)
• Pot for boiling water
• Tea bag or loose leaf tea of your choice
• Strainer or cheesecloth
• Optional: Lemon juice, honey, ginger, or other flavorings to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Begin by weighing out the desired amount of dried or fresh magic mushrooms. A typical dose is 1-2 grams per cup, but it is best to start with a lower dose and adjust as needed.
2. In a pot, add the desired amount of water for the number of servings you plan to make.
3. Bring the water to a simmer, not a full boil. Too high of heat can damage the psilocybin compounds.
4. Once the water is simmering, add in your measured mushrooms and let it continue to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Turn off the heat and strain out the mushroom pieces using a strainer or cheesecloth into a separate container.
6. Let the tea cool down slightly and then add in your choice of tea bag or loose leaf tea to steep for a few minutes.
7. Add in any desired flavorings like lemon juice, honey, or ginger.
8. Once the tea has cooled down to a drinkable temperature, it is ready to serve and enjoy.
