Preparing Shroom Tea: The Step-by-step Guide
There are two ways to look at it.
Are you making the magic mushroom tea from scratch, or have you purchased a magic mushroom tea bag online and are ready to prepare it? The process for these two situations is different.
If you’re preparing the shroom tea from scratch:
Step 1: Grind the dried mushroom to a powder.
The mushroom has to be dried.
But before you toss them into the coffee grinder, weigh your dosage. The correct dosage of shroom can make or mar your experience (more on this later)
You measure 2 grams of the plant and then process it through a coffee grinder until it turns into powder.
Step 2: Add ginger
Ginger is an optional addition to shroom tea, but we recommend it, especially if you’re making it from scratch.
It helps to reduce the risk of nausea that you can get while consuming shrooms.
Dice the ginger into chunks, add it to a cup, and then add the shroom powder.
Step 3: Add water to the mushroom powder
You must have prepared about 2 cups of water in a pot and heated it until it was gently bubbling.
Then, you pour the hot water into the powdered magic mushrooms.
Let them cook in the simmering water for about 15 to 20 minutes. This will ensure better consecration of the psychedelic effects.
Step 4: Add a tea bag
Adding a tea bag to the shroom tea is optional.
The tea bag should remain in for at least 5 minutes towards the end of simmering.
We recommend adding a tea bag because it’s an effective way to mask the taste of the mushrooms.
Step 5: Strain (optional but recommended)
Once your special tea is ready, strain out the mushroom bits.
Now you have your psychedelic tea!
You can add honey or your favorite sweetener to make it taste better.
If you’re preparing a pre-dosed shroom-infused shroom tea bag:
How you take your shroom tea is as important as the dosage itself.
It is easier when you purchase a pre-packaged shroom tea bag. In that case, you simply follow these steps:
- Step 1: Pour ml (8.5 oz) of boiling water
- Step 2: Steep the tea bag for 15 minutes
- Step 3: Remove tea bag
- Step 4: Enjoy and have the best day
If you’re new to this method of psilocybin intake, we strongly advise you to start slowly to find the correct dose for you.
What’s The Right Dosage For Shroom Tea?
Dosing this magical brew is just like any other shroom method. A microdose is about 0.2 to 0.3 grams.
| Dosage (in terms of shroom content) | Ideal for | Effect duration |
| 50mg to 250mg | Getting things done | There are no psychoactive effects. |
| 0.5g to 1g | Novices, microdoses | 1-4 hours |
| 1.5g to 3g | Experienced consumers | 1-4 hours |
| 3g and up | Very experienced consumers | 2-6 hours |
These are just ballpark figures, though. Everyone’s trip is different. Start low and find your sweet spot.
Pro Tip:
- Always know your shroom source to avoid surprises. If you’re unsure about your shrooms, play it safe with a low dose until you figure out your tolerance.

How Long Does Shroom Tea Usually Take To Kick In?
Just like cannabis tea, shroom tea hits you way quicker than munching on mushrooms straight up or in something like chocolate or gummies.
Because psilocybin gets straight into the bloodstream, it zooms through your stomach and digestive system, and the buzz will kick in around 30 minutes, maybe even faster.
But remember, your body and the world around you can throw some curveballs into the mix, so give it at least an hour before you think about diving in for another round.
What are the benefits of Mushroom Tea?
Of all the various ways to consume shrooms, taking it as a tea can give you many benefits:
- It doesn’t upset your stomach: Unlike raw mushrooms that can trouble your stomach, shroom tea bypasses the need to digest the mushrooms. A lot of that has already taken place during the preparation process.
- Quick kick-in: If you have things to do and only have a short time to experience euphoria, the shroom tea is the best option. The psychedelic effects kick in faster compared to eating mushrooms.
- Sticking to dosage is easier: Shroom tea makes it easier to control the dosage. You can easily measure how much you want to consume without going overboard. Remember to weigh the dried mushrooms before tossing them into the coffee grinder.
