I boil the water and then turn it down to simmer on the lowest setting. I then toss in chopped up fresh mushroom pieces and let steep for 20 minutes. I strain this through a mesh strainer I have and then I strain that into a coffee filter. This filters all the bits and even the verm that gets stuck to the stems. Pour into a glass and add sugar and vanilla extract to taste. The less water you use, the less you'll have to drink, but the darker the tea will taste. At any point after the tea is made you can mix your choice of ingredients such as ginger, lemon, or mint.
With tea, I've found that very little potency is lost, but the trip comes on much quicker and much harder, but doesn't last as long as eating the caps.
Once the tea is finished steeping, it should have a nice golden color. The darker the tea, the more potent it will be. I've done this with as little as ~1 gram and as much as ~10 grams (split between two people)

That reminds me of a story I heard back in high school, which may or may not have been true, but was probably just a myth. Regardless, it's a funny story.
So it starts out with a guy bringing back a jar of liquid L. He had to go to the next state over to get it, so he was on his way back. Apparently, this guy was the biggest supplier of LSD in the state, so having a jar of liquid wasn't unbelievable. Anyways, he gets pulled over by a state trooper. The trooper sees that the guy seems nervous so he asks to search the car. The trooper finds the jar of Lucy, and thinking it's moonshine decides to dip his finger in and taste (you know like they do in the movies!) The cop decides that it must just be some homemade moonshine and it probably doesn't deserve all the extra paper work, so he let's the guy go. It was said that the cop probably ingested close to 100 hits of liquid LSD. The guy never saw or heard from the cop again, and no one really knows what happened to him...
