 Mushroom tea

Hey guys, i need a method of preparing shroom tea that works. When ever i eat shrooms whole, im always sick, but shroom tea in the past hasn't made me sick at all. My problem is, i can no longer prepare the tea properly. Either i get the water too hot, or not hot enough - either way, it's not having an effect on me.

I just boil some water, probably about 24 ounces of it, and then take the pot off the stove, let stand for ~1 minute. Then put ground mush (dried of course) in a cup and pour the water over it. I let it stand for around 10 mintues, stirring occasionally. Then I pour the water into another cup with a coffee filter on top, it takes a shile for it all to drip through, but it has always worked for me.
Also, you can easily find this in a search

Something that has worked well in the past for me was to grind dried mushrooms in a coffee grinder until it is a powder. Put that powder with some vitamin C (optional, and the kind that's a powder works best) in a small coffee filter and fold it shut, then staple it so you have a pouch. Now get some bottled tea. I've found that one bottle of a mint green tea and one bottle of a lemon ginger green tea is perfect - the mint masks the flavor, the lemon helps preserve, the ginger helps with nausea, and the green tea gives just a little boost without making things edgy. You can also use any flavor you like (probably skip black tea though, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine), and of course, there is no problem brewing your own, but let it cool completely!
So, you have some brewed tea which is cold, and your mushroom packet. Obviously, put that damn packet in the tea! Then stick that stuff in the fridge for at least a day, probably not more than two days.
To me, this is a good method that will pretty much guarantee that you will get almost all of the psilocybin out of the mushrooms, and that you will not destroy any significant amount of it in the process. Don't use boiling water, use vitamin C and some lemon.

Not possible to get the water too hot...but here's my tried and true method:
Small amount of cold water in a pan (few ozs per 100g) - the fresh shrooms will add their own water.
Small Large amount of citric acid in the water - this helps extracts psilocin and prevents oxidation. I'm presently using 1 part citric acid to 50 parts shrooms (see last post in this thread).
Bring to boil on high heat while mashing shrooms up like mad and stirring constantly. Boil just until entire contents are rolling boil, while stirring constantly. Boiling longer doesn't do much for the intensity but it does make the tea taste worse. 
Tip pan on side to collect shrooms/water in one place, cover with lid and let sit about 10 minutes.
Strain and serve - be sure to press juice out of shroom dregs (a fine strainer is best). 
Peace

Most of you brew shroom tea in an INSANELY over complicated way. Oxalic is right, you really do only need to pour the water over the mushrooms then let them stew for ten minutes ish. All of this boiling the mushrooms, simmering the mushrooms, straining and extra ingrediants is bullshit, IMO. Just hot water and mushrooms will sort you out.

The way I have done it is...
Chop up some dry shrooms pretty good, then I opened the tea bag and put the shrooms in there then tied it back up.
Then I had some water that was boiling on the stove, I poured that water into a glass,leaving enough room to add ice later, let that cool for about 30 seconds then put the tea bag in there stirring and kinda squeezing it for about 20 min.
Then I add ice and enjoy

Grind up or chop up mushrooms very fine. Put mushroom bits in a cloth tea bag or emptied regular tea bag. Steep in hot water for a few minutes, squeeze bag, add honey for taste (really helps!), and drink! It comes on a lot faster as a liquid.

Can't you destroy psilocybin at high heats?
Or is that at heats well above boiling water?

Boiling does not degrade them. People cook them on grills! The temps you read for psilocybin degradation are for the crystalline form, when it's locked into solution the story is very different.
Besides, I've done this for freaking' ever tried all kinds of methods - this most definitely extracts the maximum actives from fresh 'shrooms. Don't forget the citric acid (or lemon juice) see this post.
Here's the dead-simple process for 275 gms fresh PES Hawaiian. I used about 100 gms water. (If brewing from dried shrooms you will want to START with boiling water like any tea, and experiment as to proportions.)
It took longer to edit the pics and upload them than to do it. This will store in a one pint plastic bottle in the freezer indefinitely. The net yield in this case was 350cc, and I poured off 65cc for today's festivities (50gm fresh weight  ) - the rest is now freezing.
The picture titles are their explanations:
         
Peace
-PS
PS Hey look at this pic too - chopping 'em up gets better hydration I think and it's easy:
Also I find you can use less water, almost none if you want, 'cause the shrooms will start leaking water as soon as the cells break down...
PPS And don't go overboard on the citric acid - a little goes a long ways and too much tastes bad but doesn't improve the extraction. A few gms will do for a brew like this. Experiment!

Does it take the nausea away? It doesn't bring the nausea to the party. The only way you could get it is to trip on a full stomach (never recommended).
How long to boil? I boil about 1 minute once it gets bubbly with the pan lifted just over above the burner. I steep for 5-20 minutes, doesn't seem to matter that much, just depends. Put the lid on the pan to steep.
OK, is it true for LCs? Been so long since I've found them (been so long since I've looked  ) but yes, it works for all strains I've ever brewed (Ps. cube, Ps. cyans, Ps. semi). Years ago I made tea with pannies as well, same deal. Don't know precisely the difference with citric acid in those cases, as that was before I knew about the pH factor. The more psilocin the shrooms have the more effect the acid will have. Cubes have good amounts of psilocin, IIRC semis and cyans are more towards the psilocybin side (why they take so well to drying, which is hard on the psilocin).
Hope that helps!
