Tea offers a range of health benefits, from supporting the immune system to reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of serious conditions like heart disease and cancer. Mushrooms, known for their medicinal properties, have also been valued for centuries. With that in mind, we’ve put together seven must-try magic mushroom tea recipes that combine flavor and wellness in every cup.
Tips for Making the Most Out of Your Magic Mushroom Tea
- Mushroom Prep: Use 1-2 grams of dried magic mushrooms per serving, finely chopped or ground into a powder with a coffee grinder to maximize the extraction.
- Water Temp: Boil water, then let it cool slightly to 190-200°F to avoid degrading psilocybin unnecessarily.
- Steeping Time: Steep mushrooms for 10-15 minutes.
- Straining: Optionally strain out mushroom bits with a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter to reduce nausea and improve texture.
Psilocybin potency varies by mushroom species (e.g., Tidal Wave, that’s highly potent vs. Golden Teacher which fall in the average category), so know your source and start low if unsure. Also there are pre-made shroom tea bags available for purchase to ease the whole preparation experience.
