Going to try tea tonight
    #14450587 - 05/14/11 11:05 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I'm gonna try making shroom tea for the first time tonight. I'm going to mix the shroom powder into a tea bag with blueberry tea and add some lemon; it should be pretty yummy, all things considered. Oh, will also be using Malabar strain for the first time during this experiment!

So, here's my question.... if I was going to eat the powder, I would use about 2.5 grams to achieve my trip. Will I use 2.5 grams to make the tea, also? Or, is their potency loss when you do the tea tek? How many grams should I add to the tea bag?

Many thanks in advance!

I dunno dude, i did the tea a few months ago, poured it into a pot while on the stove boiling, it was too hot, and got no effects. I did it again last night with 4 grams of half vermicumite, and half aborts and mycelium chunks, but mixed it in a cup of hot water off the stove, stirred it and squished the stuff against the cup. Then strained it into a cup through a piece of paper towel. THEN, squished the paper towel "tea bag" against the side of the cup.

got all the juices out, and drank with a friend. holy moly was that intense.

no it should be fine, potency loss can happen with excess hot water for a long time but it should work out fine with 2.5g

have fun tea is a great method

Get a standard tea-bag, Tetley or PG-Tips or what ever.  Cut off a corner of the bag and empty out the Tea-Leaves, repack the bag with your ground up dry mushies (you can easily get 4g in there, but I only ever tried 2g) now sow up the hole in the bag with a needle and a bit of thread.  Leave a length of thread for conveniently dunking the bag in your cup.  Dunk the bag in a half full cup of boiling water (as long as its boiling any nasty's in there will be killed) gently dunk and squish the bag against the side of the cup until cool and the waters gone brownish then drink quick :grin:.

I added a little honey to mine for taste but itll send you shooting to the stars. At least with the 3g's I did. I've done hot chocolate as well just do all the tea steps until it's time to add tea then just throw in cocoa mix and drink er down. I've always been sitting for the come up when I drink the shrooms. Enjoy!

There should be no noticeable potency loss, however be sure to not add the shrooms to the tea while the water is still boiling, that's where most of the potency loss from tea happens.

Really? Good to hear! I've only read reports of the boiling water lowering potency, so I have never boiled my mushrooms.

people think looking at your mushrooms too hard causes potency loss
:stonedjerk:

eat more mushrooms, dont eat 3 grams of a weak species like cubensis, and then complain you didnt trip hard enough.

Thanks all!
My tea is steeping as I write this.... decided to just go with 1.8 grams as I don't feel very brave right now :tongue:
Will let ya know how it goes later.

btw, with the tea tek, I should be looking at a shorter trip, right?

oh, yeah, just eating them dry creates a longer trip. tea is the fastest, or equal to lemon tek. probably equal imo. have fun! :smile:

Adding an antioxidant to the water will help stop potency loss. Crushed vitamin C tablets work well.

Really? Good to hear! I've only read reports of the boiling water lowering potency, so I have never boiled my mushrooms.





I've read of people boiling them for 5 or ten Min's with no loss of potency!  I never did this though, I just whip a half full cup of water out of the micro just as the water hits boiling point, I then immediately dunk the bag in the cup, the water instantly comes off the boil and the mushy powder fizzes and sizzles for a few secs as it absorbs the water.

I wouldn't mind seeing a definitive answer on the 'boiling' loss of potency question.
