The Steps of Preparation
Now, follow these careful steps to reveal the magic hidden within the ingredients. Each step assists in unveiling the flavors and potency of your brew, encouraging mindfulness and creativity.
- Measure out the dried psilocybin mushrooms and chop them into smaller pieces or grind them lightly to increase the surface area.
- Bring the 2 cups of filtered water to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan.
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the simmering water and let them steep for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the mushrooms steep, prepare your herbal tea by boiling water separately and steeping it according to package instructions.
- After steeping, strain the mushroom water through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large mug or teapot, discarding the solids.
- Add honey and lemon juice to the warm mushroom infusion, stirring until combined and the honey dissolves.
- Pour your chosen herbal tea into the mushroom blend and stir well to combine the flavors.
- Sprinkle in any optional spices, stirring gently to incorporate.
- Let the tea cool slightly, then take a moment to appreciate the aroma before sipping your creation.
- Share your warm elixir with friends, encouraging stories and reflections as you embark on your journey together.
