How to Brew Magic Mushroom Tea (Safely and Effectively)

There’s something timeless about steeping a warm mug of tea. Add in the measured benefits of psilocybin, and you have a ritual that blends wellness, mindfulness, and adventure. Magic mushroom tea offers a gentler onset than eating dried mushrooms, making it a favourite among people seeking a more comfortable, intentional experience. At Path Supply, we believe in preparing it safely—and in ways that keep your dosing consistent and your path clear.

Before we get into the how, it’s important to remember: in Canada, psilocybin remains a controlled substance without a legal exemption. Always ensure you understand the Canadian government’s guidelines before making or consuming psilocybin products. This guide is for educational purposes and encourages responsible use.

Why choose tea over eating dried mushrooms?

Drinking psilocybin in tea form can:

Support smoother digestion – The heat helps break down some of the mushroom material, which may reduce stomach discomfort.
Allow for a faster onset – Effects are often felt sooner than chewing dried mushrooms.
Offer creative flavour options – Herbal blends, honey, and spices can enhance the experience.

That said, making tea from loose mushrooms can be tricky. Potency varies between caps, stems, and even different parts of the same batch. That’s why many people choose our microdose products—like our Elevate microdose capsules or Awaken magic mushroom espresso chocolate—for consistency, convenience, and shelf stability.

The safety essentials

Know your dose

Potency inconsistency is the number-one challenge with loose mushrooms. We create blends from large, homogenized batches so every capsule or chocolate square has the same psilocybin content. If you’re using loose mushrooms for tea, weigh them carefully with a precise scale.

Mind your setting

Choose a safe, comfortable environment. Whether you’re in a quiet cabin on the coast or your own living room, create a space that supports the kind of experience you want.

Stay hydrated and nourished

Have water and light snacks ready. Tea can be hydrating, but psilocybin journeys—micro or macro—still require you to take care of your body.

How to brew magic mushroom tea: step-by-step

Ingredients:

Your measured psilocybin dose (loose mushrooms, capsules, or powdered form)
250–300 ml hot water (not boiling)
Optional: ginger, chamomile, peppermint, honey, or lemon

Method:

Prepare the mushrooms
If using loose mushrooms, chop them finely to increase surface area. If using capsules, you can open them and pour the powder directly into the water. For chocolate, melt gently in warm water or milk before combining with tea.
Heat the water
Bring water to just below boiling (around 80–90°C). Boiling water can degrade psilocybin, reducing potency.
Steep gently
Place mushrooms or powder into a tea infuser, French press, or directly into the mug. Steep for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Enhance flavour and digestion
Add ginger for a warming, stomach-settling effect, or lemon to brighten the flavour.
Strain and sip
Strain solids if desired. Sip slowly, noting onset effects over the next 20–40 minutes.

Beyond psilocybin: functional mushroom teas

If you love the idea of mushroom tea but want a psilocybin-free option, functional mushrooms like Lion’s Mane and Reishi can be brewed into rich, earthy infusions. These may support focus, relaxation, and immune health without any psychoactive effects.

Responsible, mindful, adventurous

Brewing magic mushroom tea is more than a recipe—it’s a ritual. Whether you’re steeping a microdose for a creativity boost or exploring a deeper journey, do it with care, respect, and a sense of adventure. At Path Supply, we’re here to make that path smoother, more consistent, and more enjoyable, so you can focus on what really matters: the experience.
