What's up fellow blades? So yeah, in 3 days I am getting an oz of some top quality shrooms (pictures when they get here), and I was wondering if anybody had some tips on brewing up some mushroom tea? Any advice would be awesome.
its a waste...the heat kills some psilocybin. just eat them. i drank tea at work...woahhh lol how much you gettin it for?
I would say just eat them, but that's just me. But if you find the process of eating them to be rather nasty, or if you don't like the taste, here's the steps to preparing it. Chop or crush mushrooms. Use 1 cup of water per person and/or 1 cup of water per 5 grams. Heat water to boiling, pour hot water over mushrooms. Wait 5-10 minutes, strain water into drinking cup. Pour a second amount of water over strained mushrooms. Drink first infusion. Strain second infusion into drinking cup and drink. If you don't like the taste, mix in something else to mask it. Nothing acidic like orange juice or citrus, mix in some kool-aid or something.
I have eaten them before yes, but I hear that the high associated with tea is much different than just munching up on them. Also, I thought if you add more acidity, it helps you trip much more? I am getting an Oz for 200, which is pretty lucky considering that my town has been dry of them for like six months. Good thing my friends in college can bring fun drugs home.
Don't take this advice. If brewed properly, mushroom tea will hit you harder and faster than just eating them. This has everything to do with the drastically higher surface area of liquids and opposed to solids. This is also why a lot of people prefer to crush up pills and parachute them. Put simply: if you aren't crushing/grinding/liquefying something you eat, your body will do it for you, and this takes time. This is part of the reason we have teeth too i suppose, so keep in mind that chewing up your mush really well will get things sped up a bit, especially if left under the tongue for a bit. The downside (or perhaps upside, depending) is that the effects are noticeably shorter. For instance, if mushrooms normally last 4-6 hours, expect them to last you 4 hours tops in liquid form. Obviously this might vary person to person and dose to dose. The recipe i came up with was as follows: D-Tea (haha) 4 cups water 8.65g ground up mushrooms 1-2 lemons X Honey X Sugar 1 Coffee Filter 1 Wire Mesh Strainer 1. Bring 2 of the cups of water and a half lemon to a boil 2. Reduce heat to LOW 3. Add ground mushrooms once your water isn't boiling anymore 4. Let sit 20 minutes on low, stirring often. 5. Strain tea through filter & wire mesh. (just put the coffee filter in your wire strainer and pour the tea through it, this'll take a sec) 6. Set mush aside, use it again to repeat steps 1-5 7. Combine the two washes. 8. Add lemon, honey, and/or sugar to taste (it's going to taste pretty weird still, but i've heard a lot of people prefer it to eating them. another option is to brew it with your favorite tea bag) 9. Drink up and kiss yourself goodbye. This gave us 4 cups/servings that contained a little over 2g per cup. You could feel it around 10 minutes later, on the floor laughing 15 minutes in, tripping decently at 20 minutes, and tripping balls at 30-40 minutes. Trip lasted 3-4 hours, and was incredibly intense for the first hour even at only 2g. This is perfect if you're looking to have a short and sweet trip without having to smoke salvia to do so haha. I'd just be cautious, the difference in quickness and intensity is definitely noticeable. We did use good mushrooms, but i remember feeling very impressed with the difference. I think it's also worth considering throwing a couple shots of some good hard alcohol to the mix around steps 3 or 4, as alcohol is a great way to extract psilocybin/psilocin from your fungus. This would probably add to the experience somewhat as well depending on how much you use, especially the come up. And if you're using alcohol, it's not a bad idea to brew it with some pot leaves, shake, trimmings, or even bud as well. This might sound silly, and you probably wont get too too much THC out of it, but i think it's something worth experimenting with. That's what i call D-Tea, good luck brotha.
This is my first post, but I felt that it was needed! Tea is the ONLY way I choose to ingest mushrooms, after experimenting with them through years. I find that it lasts a shorter amount of time, is slightly more intense (though mellower, if that makes sense), and MUCH less nauseating. I stopped eating these for over four years, since the nausea just got to be too much. After experimenting with tea, I still get that feeling of being sick, but it is so much more bearable that I can enjoy the psychedelic experience. I know a lot of people are not like this, but this is the main reason I switched from raw fungus. I usually just chop up the mushrooms, and put in a good amount of water for the amount of people splitting it(obviously measured). I bring the water to a boil, then put it on lower heat. Add mushrooms and let seep for 10-15 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally. Add some good tea!! I always add ginger tea, along with another flavorful bag to help with the stomach again. Pour it out, and strain through a coffee filter. I suggest this method to everyone, it really made psilocybin an enjoyable psychedelic for me again!
i don't think any body has said this, but don't bring the water to a full boil. psylocibin and psilocin are heat sensitive. simmer it just under boiling, i have never done a double extraction, i just usually simmer it for 20 min. and blast off hey t. turtle if you like mushroom tea, try mushroom honey. it is the shit, takes a few years to do it right though. same as tea but you just let it sit in the honey for a loooonnnnggg time then heat it up a little to reduce viscosity and strain it through a fine mesh wire filter. gude sheet mang
hey thanks everyone. I personally love tea and drink 2-3 cups a day after work an a days worth of stress but never really thought of throwin some shrooms or anythin. I tried cannibis tea but its a noticeable difference between the high I would get smoking it so i stopped wasting it on that and just drink some herbal teas of varying flavor. I have to try throwin some shrooms in there because it sounds alot more bearable if i throw a bag or two of my favorite tea with it
This is getting me hyped up. Like I said, it has been dry for mushrooms around here. The last time I took them was the beginning of the summer.
By the way, congrats on getting the shrooms when it's so dry. Especially this time of year. I wish I could get some shrooms right now. Anyway you take 'em, you're in for a mindfuck! Haha. Good vibes for your trip, man.
I recommend just eating them man.. Or try my tutorial for extracting it in to honey you can put on muffins, bagels, etc. Psilocybin honey extraction tutorial (with pics)
been picking them in the same spot for over 20yrs now- we always boil them- our method is alittle different then what i see here- first we are useing fresh not dryed mushrooms what we do is boil them down till the water is almost goon add more water and repete boiling down usualy 3 or 4 times untill all you have is a thick purple goo-most of the "solid" mushrooms will be mush by now at this point we would ither drink that thick purple mess like a shoot of tequila or mix it in a glass of water or tea no mater what you mix it with it tastes like shit this method alway gave me the best most intense trips ive had way better then eating them dry and eating them fresh is a wast not trying to say my way is best just that it was always worked very well for my friends and i
