Detailed Recipe

Grinding or Chopping

Cut your chosen mushrooms with a knife or crush them into tiny pieces. Grinding or chopping increases their surface area, thereby making the procedure more efficient. Breaking it down into smaller fragments or a fine powder allows the water to dissolve the active ingredients more effectively. This approach also promises quicker and evenly distributed steeping.

Water Heating

Fill your pot or kettle with water and bring it to a boil. As soon as Once the water begins to bubble, remove it from the heat source and allow a few moments for the bubbling to subside. Ensure the water has stopped boiling before pouring it over powdered or chopped Psilocybe. This method helps to reduce the breakdown of sensitive compounds, thus preserving their strength and quality.

Infusion

Let the hot water mingle with the material over a prolonged period. This step is vital in maximizing the extraction of active compounds. It assists in breaking down the material, making it easier to digest than when consumed raw. During this time, you can also infuse a tea bag if you prefer.

Filtering

Once the infusion is complete, filter the mixture using a coffee filter or cheesecloth. This step eliminates solid particles resulting in a smoother, more enjoyable liquid. In addition to enhancing the texture, filtering ensures you consume only the liquid enriched with active compounds. It also helps avoid potential digestive discomfort that might occur from swallowing gritty solids.

Adding Taste Enhancers (Optional)

If desired, you can add flavorings like sweeteners or lemon to improve the taste, as the natural flavor of Psilocybe might be strong and unpleasant for some. Ingredients such as lemon juice can facilitate the conversion of psilocybin into its more effective form, psilocin, potentially enhancing absorption and overall effects.

Mushroom Concoction

The process described above is a straightforward method for preparing a hot beverage. For a more enriching experience, consider concocting an elixir using additional herbs. This recipe enhances the basic method by using a potent herbal decoction instead of plain hot water. Recommended herbs include ginger (to alleviate stomach discomfort and nausea), medicinal mushrooms (such as chaga or reishi), and adaptogens (like ginseng or ashwagandha).

Follow this step-by-step guide:

1. Fill a pot with water and place it on your stove.
2. Add your chosen tonic or adaptogenic herbs to the pot. Options can include reishi, ginger, ginseng, ashwagandha, or chaga.
3. Let it simmer for 20–30 minutes to create a herbal decoction.
4. Filter the decoction and allow it to cool down a bit.
