How to Make Lemon Tek Mushroom Tea
Lemon tek has quickly become one of the go-to methods of preparation for magic mushrooms among psychedelic communities worldwide. It provides an easy, quick, and quick way to maximize your trip, reduce nausea, and speed up effects of these magical mushrooms. While not scientifically confirmed, many believe that acid in lemon juice converts psilocybin into psilocin more easily absorbed by our bodies; thus reducing nausea associated with mushroom use while simultaneously helping with microdosing and microdosing microdosing efforts.
Lemon tek is an easy and straightforward process: grind up mushrooms into an espresso-like powder, mix in enough fresh lemon juice to fully cover your powdered mushrooms, and let the mixture sit for 15-20 minutes. While lemons are traditionally used as the liquid component of this preparation, other citrus fruit or liquid sources (providing they contain sufficient citric acid content) could also work just as effectively.
After your mushrooms have had enough time to soak up lemon juice, it is best to strain your concoction to remove any bits of dried mushroom that may still be present. Cheesecloth or coffee filters can be useful here; once strained, mushroom tek can either be drunk as a shot or added to tea – some users report making lemon tek mushroom tea helps reduce nausea by helping them take smaller doses over time and maintaining an effective dosage plan.
Lemon Tek should only be taken by those with prior experience with mushrooms as its rapid onset may be disorienting for newcomers. Furthermore, those with sensitive stomachs should avoid lemon juice due to its harsh impact on digestion; additionally, those who suffer from food allergies or sensitivities should steer clear as lemon can react with certain food items and produce unpleasant side effects.
Though not scientifically supported, many users believe that lemon juice’s acid can help dissolve some of the chitin present in mushroom cell walls and facilitate faster trip onset and more intense effects; although, exactly why this occurs remains a mystery.
Making lemon tek is simple: grind up mushrooms into a fine powder, combine with enough fresh lemon juice to cover them, stir well, and let sit for 20-30 minutes, occasionally stirring. Pouring lemon tek into water prior to consumption may help mitigate any negative effects on stomach or digestive system, or mixed into tea (such as green or ginger tea) can enhance taste and digestion – but make sure not to boil as this could speed up mushroom decomposition too quickly.
