Steps
The steps of preparation (possible in all kinds of variations)
Let’s dive into the beautiful process of creating this mystical brew.
- Begin by finely chopping the dried mushrooms for maximum extraction.
- Boil the water in a kettle or a pot.
- Once boiling, let the water cool for about 1-2 minutes. (Boiling water can destroy the psilocybin in the mushrooms.)
- Place the chopped mushrooms into a teapot or French press.
- Pour the hot water over the mushrooms and let steep for 10-15 minutes.
- In a separate cup, steep your chosen tea bag in hot water for 3-5 minutes; remove the tea bag.
- Strain the mushroom mixture to remove any solid pieces.
- Combine the mushroom tea with the prepared tea from your tea bag.
- Optional: Add honey, ginger slices, lemon juice, fresh mint, or non-dairy milk for additional flavors and benefits.
- Stir well and serve hot.
Taking each step slowly ensures the creation of a truly magical drink. Enjoy this personalized experience!

Q&A
Can I use fresh mushrooms instead of dried?
Yes, but you may need to adjust the quantity as fresh mushrooms are less potent by weight.
How long does the effect of the mushroom tea last?
Typically, the effects can last between 4 to 6 hours, varying per individual.
Is it possible to make the tea in an Instant Pot?
It’s best to avoid this method, as extreme heat can degrade psilocybin.
Can I store leftover mushroom tea?
Yes, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but the potency may decrease.
What should I do if I don’t like the taste?
Add more honey, lemon, or mint to mask the flavor.
Is there any way to reduce the bitterness?
Adding a natural sweetener like honey or agave can help.
How can I enhance the absorption of psilocybin?
Including lemon juice can help in better absorption.
Can I brew the tea directly with milk?
It’s not recommended as it could affect the extraction of psilocybin.
