Mushroom Tea

**Pharm Girl** · 09-26-2008, 05:21 AM

Cook about 2 gr of dried magic mushrooms with some water.
Cook the water slowly, keep the fire low and leave the magic mushrooms in for about 20 min. Pour the water and mix with a
caffeine-free tea.

Drink the Mushroom Tea

After 30 minutes you will notice the magic mushrooms start working. You will get relaxed, laughy, then visualisations will start. This lasts for about 5 hours, depending on the amount you took.....

There's a few more shroom recipes......but, I wasn't sure if this was the right forum!

I'll dig a few out soon............~

Is there any advantage to drinking this tea? Does it actually taste any better? I wasn't sure if you strain them out or not, from the recipe...

most people typically find the trip comes on quicker and hits harder, but this usually comes at the cost of the duration of the trip being slightly shorter. Although this could just be perceived to be shorter because of the higher intensity of the peak and the time after that not being as comparable.

personally i do not like the taste of the tea, but i am not a coffee or tea drinker anyways. My preferred method of ingestion is to powderize the mushrooms, put them on a piece of paper folded into a "V" and bottoms up. chase this with water or some drink and repeat until the desired amount is consumed. I find this is a middle ground between tea and eating them straight. As the powderized mushrooms are easier for your body to digest(which is why i assume the tea works as it does).

edit - yes you should strain them and either discard or if you choose you could eat them.

I made shroom tea recently, and as one who has a severe gag reflex to the taste and smell of shrooms, it was a nice change from eating them. I made my tea as follows:

-I ground up my desired amount in a coffee grinder and put the powder into a large mug

-Then, I boiled water with a few squirts of lemon juice added, then turned off the heat to let the boil stop. (Lemon juice is supposed to enhance the onset of the high, and reduce oxidation of the alkaloids by lowering the water pH.)

-When the boil stopped, I poured the water into the mug with the powder, stirred, and allowed it to sit for 20 min or so. I stirred here and there during that time.

-Then, I poured the tea through a strainer into another mug, to filter out all the solids. (Only a little bit of cloudy "mud" got through, but most of it settled by drinking time, and didn't get swallowed.) At this time, I added a peppermint tea bag and let it sit in the fridge until it cooled off enough to chug.

About 30 minutes after chugging, the wave rolled in, but the nausea aspect was almost non-existent. I still got the post shrooming sinus headache, though. Oh well, can't win em all.

nice...im grabbing some good mushrooms tomorrow!!

i'll be sure to make some of my usual honey, lemon and ginger tea with a special guest ingredient.

normally i bring to a boil then turn the burner off and let it sit for a little bit.

would this be the proper, and optimal, method to use with mushrooms added?

I think it's bad to actually boil the mushrooms, but I admit I'm no expert on the subject. I would bring the water to a boil, turn off the fire, then let the bubbling stop before adding shrooms.

(This is definitely a subject to research on Shroomery if you want to be sure.)

i use my coffee press so i also don't boil them

Just boil some water, then cool it down, grind some up. Put them in a tea strainer, soak for 25 minutes.
and on how to grind them up, your guess is as good as mine.

i usually just cut the stalk of the shroom to split it in half, then cut into 1/8 or 1/4" increments, throw in a cup of just barely boiled water from the microwave, throw in a fruity herb tea bag and stir for about 10 minutes. then i just strain with a regular screen. i have eaten whole shrooms twice in my life. NEVER AGAIN. i know im a pussy but i just can't stand the nausea/stomach ache after only chewing the shrooms a little bit before it gets washed down, (basically whole). usually about 2-3 grams works great
