how do you make shrooms tea?

i was wondering how to make shroom tea ?

 

chop/grind your mushrooms as fine as you can. put them in some empty teabags (if they dont have these at a grocery/herbalist/GNC/health food store near you then get them online - they're extremely inexpensive) and staple the bags shut. pour some fairly hot but NOT boiling water into a large mug and put in a teabag of some strongly flavored tea such as earl grey or regular black tea or something. herbal teas are fine too, but you just want something with a strong flavor. put in the mushroom teabags, too. let it step for about 20 minutes and cover the top to help keep in a bit of the heat. sweeten it with honey or whatever, discard the tea bags, and sip it over the course of about 15 minutes to half an hour.

 

just make sure you dont boil the water

 

Crush or chop the shrooms, put into cup, add boiling water, let stand for a couple of minutes, drink and enjoy.
Be sure to drink all the crumbs too, they taste great.
Usually I use liberty caps and just add them whole. It's kind of like mushroom flavored noodles.
If you want to sweeten the tea use sugar or honey, artificial sweetner tastes like sh*t.
I think shroom tea is best without sugar.

 

It doesn't actually make any difference. I've often boiled them up several times - starting with about 150 liberty caps - no need to chop them either - just place them in the pot.
One thing - a friend of mine and I once did a lot of this, and both had similar sightings of angry mushrooms with steam coming out of them flying around the room!!

The advantage of tea with british mushrooms is that eating enough - 40 - 60 mushrooms, can often cause some queasy feelings in the stomach - I know of one or two people who've vomited on them. The tea is easier to cope with.
With mexican and other larger spieces, I think eating them is better - it's less actual vegetable material to cope with.

One more word on Liberty Caps - do ensure that each and every mushroom is fresh when picked. There is a small parasitic maggot that lives in the mushrooms - any that have been up for more than a day or so may well have maggots.

 

I just make tea, add the mushrooms (break them into small pieces), let them soak for a few minutes, drink the tea and swallow all of the pieces.

I dislike the smell of shrooms.


In regards to heat and shrooms:

Qo high temperatures, such as boiling water, truly degrade psilocybin/psilocin? If so, at what temperature does degradation occur?Asilocybin and psilocin are sensitive to oxidation, with psilocin being particularly sensitive. This process is accelerated at higher temperatures. There is no specific temperature at which this breakdown occurs, however, the longer you expose the psiloc(yb)in to a raised temperature (in the presence of oxygen or an oxidizer), the more will be degraded.

To my knowledge, there has been no study or report of anyone quantifying the amount of degradation at various temperatures. Qualitative reports however seem to indicate that less than an hour of boiling or steeping seems to have little to no effect on the potency of psiloc(yb)in water solution.

I just take the shrooms, make sure every one is torn in half, and then i throw it in a pot of boiling water. (1 person, slightly more than 1 cup of water, 2 people, slightly more than 2 cups of water, etc. etc.)
Stir that for about 5-10 mins, then chuck in some tea bags, yes actual tea, and when the tea has absorbed into it, i squeeze the teabags into the cups, then pour in the shroom tea through a strainer.
Add sugar, and mmmmm tea that gets you FUCKED.

 

Next time I take shrooms it will have to be with tea, last time I tripped I ate WAY too fucking many shrooms, got all sick. Let me tell you, it is NOT pleasant. I couldn't tell if I was going to throw up, if I had to poop or pee, what was really going on...all the while feeling absolutely fucking AWFUL because I wanted to throw up and couldn't tell if I was going to...and so on.

Mushrooms are legal in Amsterdam, but what's the status in other countries in Europe? I'm going to be going to school in Austria next year, I'm hoping that there will be more places to trip besides just 'Dam. Or...how easy would it be to perhaps make tea, and take it across borders? How easy is it to take anything across borders? Alcohol?
