Reddit and Erowid have made popular the Lemon Tek method of mushroom preparation, which involves grinding dried mushrooms finely before soaking them in lemon juice, before drinking their liquid form as soon as it’s been extracted from them. This seems to help prevent nausea while increasing psychedelic effects faster than eating whole mushrooms directly.

Start with Fresh Mushrooms

Chopping mushrooms may appear difficult, but trust us it’s much simpler than trying to cut up turkey tails! To make tea using fresh mushrooms, simply chop into small pieces before steeping and steeping.

Just mix chopped mushroom pieces and water together and bring to a boil before simmering it for around 30 minutes. After straining off and saving the liquid from this step, combine it with water from an earlier boil if you wish – repeating this process may provide even greater benefits from your tea!

To further reduce nausea, add raw ginger to the mix. Ginger’s abundance of gingerol and shogaol phytochemicals has an antiemetic effect due to serotonergic 5-HT3 and cholinergic M receptors acting on them to provide relief of nausea – this makes ginger an excellent addition when making mushroom tea! Furthermore, both compounds also possess antibacterial properties which will protect its integrity as an ingredient of your beverage.

Grind the Mushrooms

Mushroom tea involves grinding mushrooms into a fine powder to increase exposure to chitinase, an enzyme which breaks down indigestible components found within magic mushrooms such as chitin [12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. Furthermore, this preparation method reduces nausea while permitting more of the psilocybin to dissolve into solution; its preparation is also easier than lemon tek as you only require a regular coffee grinder or blender for this task.

Once your mushrooms have been ground, add hot (non-boiling) water. Allow it to steep for 10-15 minutes before straining and squeezing out all of the liquid from it. Repeat if you’d like more tea; the more times this process is repeated, the stronger it will become.

Soak the Mushrooms in Lemon Juice

Lemon juice can help maximize the effectiveness of mushroom tea preparation, also known as lemon tek. This method has been highly acclaimed on various internet forums such as Reddit and Erowid; all that’s required to use it is grinding up and mixing your dose with freshly squeezed lemon juice before leaving it soaking for fifteen minutes – this process may speed up onset effects while helping alleviate nausea associated with mushroom consumption.

Keep in mind that lemon juice can be acidic, potentially irritating some stomachs. Adding extra water or sugar may help alleviate this effect and make lemon tea more enjoyable for those with delicate stomachs.

Note that it is best not to boil mushrooms for too long as this will degrade some of their active compounds. Furthermore, boiling can produce extra water that needs to be strained out once your tea has been made – for this reason it may be wise to start small by taking one cup a day initially in order to gauge your body’s reactions.

Steep the Mushrooms

Once mushrooms have been ground into powder form, they should be steeped for 10-20 minutes in hot water to dissolve the water-soluble psilocybin compound and ease consumption and lessen nausea than simply chewing and swallowing them whole.

Tea made with mushrooms will have an intense, earthy taste that requires time and adjustment before becoming enjoyable. Many people choose to take it with lemon juice added for flavoring purposes – helping mask its mushroomy scent – or they even add ginger as an energy booster!

Recently in Katikati, New Zealand, three men got more than they bargained for when they took hallucinogenic magic mushroom tea. One of them fell into a psychedelic trip which resulted in him breaking windows and injuring himself, prompting the other two men to restrain him before calling police – after which all three men were arrested on felony charges and now face jail time.
