There is a saying, “Where there is tea, there is hope.” But, where there is mushroom tea, there is a refreshing time. Isn’t it? But do you know how to prepare this ‘shroom tea’? And what are its benefits? Here is a comprehensive guide about this new variety of tea, related to its preparation and benefits.

Chewing and swallowing mushrooms may not be a pleasant experience for many people. So they prepare shroom tea to enjoy the earthy mushroom taste. It is also easier for taste buds and stomachs. Adding honey and ginger to the psilocybin mushroom companion will help in digestion. Moreover, people add licorice root and hibiscus for different flavours.

If nausea is your prime concern, you can prepare it from any floating mushroom. A few people add lemon, pulpy orange juice, lemon extract or any other citrus for that sour taste. Including green tea bags and chamomile tea bags is a favourite among all generations.

How to Prepare Shroom Tea?

The first step is to believe you are a good chef. Now, gather the necessary ingredients. The ingredients are dried mushrooms, tea according to your choice, and water. One gram of dried mushroom is considered a light dose, while the trip dose is about 3 grams. If you are trying this for the first time, go with 1 gram. It will refresh your mood.

Next, start grinding the shrooms with the help of a weed grinder, knife, or a coffee grinder. Break down the mushroom into small pieces so you can easily consume it. Nowadays, you can directly buy pre-powdered caps if you find them difficult to crush.

Then, pick a clean mug from your kitchen and put your crumbled mushrooms into it. Now, boil some water (depending on the person), steep the shrooms, and add a tea bag. Leave it for 5-10 minutes so that shrooms and tea mix well. If you want to give a treat to your taste buds, you can add honey and lemon to it. Stir the drink well before you drink. That’s it! You can now enjoy your homemade shroom tea.
