Questions about Lemontek

Hello,
I have a few questions about Lemontek.
I want to know: 1. Do you strain out the mushrooms when you prepare the tek? 2. Can you make Lemontek Tea? Like, combining the two (tea and lemontek)?
Thanks in advance

1. if you want, go for it. it doesn't matter. some do others don't
2. seems kinda pointless, but ya you can make tea then add lemon juice or soak fungi in lemon juice, strain, and add tea

After using lemon tek for a good while, it's not my preferred method anymore. The taste is horrendous and tastes identical to vomit! Make tea! It's the best thing ever, extract what you need from the mushrooms themselves, leaving nothing but your tea and tasteless psilocybin, when you drink it you won't even notice it's different from normal tea, add whatever you like, lemons are good as well, a week ago I made a green tea with lemon juice and honey. It was the best trip of my life.

Pretty much lemon tek is the same thing as making tea You are not making more active chemicals, just making them more soluble and readily available, skip the need to digest mushrooms as much

What I do is chop up my shrooms if wet or break them up if dry. Put them in a couple of cups of water with about a tablespoon of lemon juice added. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, let simmer for 15 minutes, maybe add some more tea if I feel like it, run it through my strainer.
Seems about the same as a full blown lemon tek.
When I was feeling more conservative with my mushrooms I would resteep it. I always filtered though and tossed the leftovers when I was done.

I've read tons of posts about lemon tek, some people say it won't really do anything, some swear it's awesome. I personally love the lemon tek + tea combination, not because of the effects, but because it gives a kind of ritualistic vibe to the whole thing (brewing up a magical beverage ). Also the tea itself tastes delicious (matter of preference really), the mushroom bits from the lemon tek don't ruin the taste at all. Though I have absolutely no problem with munching mushrooms, I just prefer to drink a tea with lots of honey.

If you've ever tried powderizing mushrooms and adding lemon juice and drinking it, it tastes identical to vomit. You have to strain the mush particles out unless you can down it, I almost hurled just from the taste

It's possible, I've never tried drinking pure lemon tek. A good tea (I use premium quality flavoured green/black tea) with honey (and the lemon juice) totally masks the taste of mushrooms and/or "vomit". I grind the mushrooms in a coffee grinder, then make it swim in lemon juice (fresh lemon), let it sit for about half an hour (I stir it occasionally). In the meantime I make a tea, let it cool a bit, then I just pour the tea on the lemon tek and sweeten it with honey. Sure it's hell of a lot more sour than a normal tea, but the overall taste is still very pleasant. Of course over 2-2,5 grams of mushrooms it will be even more sour because of the extra lemon juice, but even then I can drink it within ten seconds and my tummy feels completely fine. Again, I haven't tried pure lemon tek, just thinking about it makes my teeth start to dance. As for the effects, well I don't know if the chemistry behind it is a myth or not, but it definitely comes on faster, but as I said, the compounds are in my stomach within ten seconds rather then ten minutes when I chew them...

Let me guess, you add the lemon juice, wait 20-30 minutes then try to drink down the sludge right? I've seen many people say they do exactly that then complain about the taste and have to gag it down. Why? Just add some other juice that you find tasty, mix it all up into a big water glass and chug it down. There's hardly any taste unless you're doing 10g or higher. Even then, just plug your nose as you chug it down and you'll hardly taste it at all.
