How to Take Golden Teacher Shrooms

Golden Teacher Mushrooms can be eaten whole, taken in microdoses, or in magic mushroom tea. To take Golden Teacher Mushrooms in tea, you’ll want to start by boiling 1.5-2 cups of water. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce it down to simmer, add your dried Golden Teacher shrooms, and allow them to steep in the simmering water for 10-15 minutes. Next, strain the mushroom-infused tea. You can optionally boil the water again and add your favorite bag of tea for enhanced flavor or simply drink the shroom tea as is. After drinking the tea, the onset of a trip will typically come in 20 minutes. Alternatively, if you take Golden Teachers by eating them whole, your trip will take a little over an hour after ingestion to begin. 

Golden Teacher Mushroom Dosage

There are a few different ways that you can go about taking a dose of Golden Teacher Canada strain.
