Mushroom Tea - A Convenient Way to Consume Psychedelic Mushrooms
Mushroom tea is a simple and tasty beverage made by infusing mushrooms (either edible psychedelic or culinary) into hot water, which makes an easy, refreshing beverage that can be made with either dried psilocybin mushrooms or culinary varieties.
As first-time users, it is advised that they start with a low dose, such as 1 gram of dried shrooms. This should result in an invigorating feeling without noticeable changes to the vision, sound or way that one thinks and speaks.
Benefits
Mushroom Tea is a tea made from edible mushrooms (such shiitake), or medicinal or psychedelic varieties of mushrooms. After boiling for approximately 30 minutes to extract the flavors, strain and pour into drinking cups to extract flavors before drinking from. Sterilize all equipment prior to use to avoid unwanted bacteria and wild yeast contamination.
Be cautious when buying mushrooms from strangers on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or other sites. Consult with a mushroom expert prior to foraging for mushrooms in nature.
If you have decided on the strain of shrooms that you will consume, then mark your calendar to a Saturday. Choose a specific dose time and a day. The effects start between 10am and 1130am with the peak effects occurring between 1130am and noon lasting between two and three hours.
Ingredients
Mushroom Tea is a hot water infusion of edible and psychoactive mushrooms. It is easy to prepare using dried or fresh mushrooms. This allows you to enjoy the pharmacological benefits without going overboard. Dried ginger root may also be added for nausea relief due to the phytochemicals gingerol and shogaol's interaction with serotonergic 5-HT receptors and cholinergic M receptors in your brain; additionally it also contains the antinausea agent Zingerone for additional relief.
Preparation
mushroom brew is a great way to consume psychoactive mushrooms. This preparation method involves boiling water with powdered psilocybin-containing mushrooms mixed in. Citric acid in the boiling water extracts and protects psilocin, while also protecting it from oxidation.
It is important to thoroughly sterilize all equipment before making mushroom Tea in order to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and wild yeast. It is also necessary that water temperatures reach 212deg F in order to dissolve psilocybin, though individual samples will contain different levels depending on their mushroom type and growing conditions.
Magic mushroom tea can be prepared in a variety of ways, including Lemon Tek. Lemon Tek involves grinding dried mushrooms into powder form before soaking them in lemon juice for fifteen minutes - many anecdotal reports claim this technique works effectively in relieving any symptoms associated with mushroom use, such as nausea.
One man was charged with illegal possession of magic mushrooms after harvesting and freezing them after picking. He was found to be guilty on the basis of „preparation,“ even though harvesting mushrooms does not constitute preparation. However, placing the mushrooms in labels and packets did count as preparation.
Storage
Mushrooms in this recipe need to be fresh, matured, and free from mold or debris. They also need to rest in a clean jar, bag, or container before storage. This is done to avoid microorganisms and maintain a constant temperature. Mycelium generates heat.
For the tea: In a large, deep pot with room to allow all contents to come up to a full boil, add a little water (1-2ozs per 100g of mushrooms), then add the mushroom packets. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat while stirring/mashing. This should only take 10 minutes. Next add citric acid - about 1-2% by weight of shrooms is usually sufficient - I added 9gms/450 gms). This allows for more concentrated psilocin while decreasing the chances of oxidation which would produce blue-tinged products that would diminish its potency. I added 9gms/450 gms).
