Caps' Lemon Tek Hybrid Tea 2

This is my method of preparing psilocybe cubensis for consumption:
Material Requirements:
-Small pot -Small mesh strainer/colander/cheese cloth/or coffee filter -Cup -Predetermined/measured dose of psilocybe cubensis (or psychedelic mushroom of choice) -2 cups of water -Lemon juice Procedure:
1. Crumble mushrooms to desired size pieces: the finer the pieces are, the faster the come up is, but the shorter the trip will be. I crumble them by hand into the cup, and i like them no more than about 1/4-3/8" diameter.
2. Add just enough lemon juice to saturate the mushroom tissue without pooling at the bottom, and allow to sit for 5 minutes before boiling water. 3. Bring water to a rapid boil, leaving the mushrooms to soak meanwhile.
4. Add contents of cup to boiling water and stir well, return to a rapid boil.
5. Drop temp to prevent boiling over, and boil for ~20-30 minutes, reducing liquid volume to only an ounce or so. Larger doses will hold most of the liquid. 6. Strain contents of pot through filter of choice (mesh strainer, cheesecloth etc) and squeeze out excess broth.
7. Return tissue to pot, add ~0.5-1oz cold water and stir well, allowing the tissue to soak up the water, and gathering any additional active residue from the pot.
8. Strain and squeeze tissue into the same cup as boil run, discard tissue, and slam resulting brew down like a shot of shitty liquor! 9. Have fun and be safe!
I've accidentally forgotten about the boiling brew, and mixed water back into the burnt pot of tissue with little to no subjective loss in potency... I add the cold water after initial boil for 2 reasons: 1. I feel it removes more actives with the additional soak and squeeze 2. It cools the broth enough to drink immediately. I hope this makes it easier for others to get and keep these down... holding the tissue in my gut is the hardest part (for me)... Give it a try and post comments/experience reports here!!!

Looks good man. So you end up with about 3 oz of liquid? That's a shooter, I like it

Yeah, 1.5-3oz ... You can continue to reduce boiling until you're satisfied with the amount... But I find this fairly consistent at producing a manageable, single swallow shot: mountain dew in the other hand and it's over before it starts well

I've been doing something similar for a few years and can verify this is by far my favorite delivery method. It works well and is not as bad as choking down dried shrooms. I got to the point where I couldn't even drink tea without gagging. After reducing and taking a single shot with tasty chaser, I found my happy place.

I'd like to figure out an extraction method: Stammets mentioned ice water extraction with fresh (said dried didn't work) psilocybe cyanescens, but idk about cubes, or how efficient it would (could) be

This seems neat! I'm glad I ran across this, I have thought of doing something along these lines but I was too scared id boil or evaporate all the good stuff away good to know I wont! My stomachs has been messed up the last few yrs I always do the tea which helps but a shot would be wonderful! I was considering doing the everclear extraction for my next trip, I feel like it take a long time tho my friend let his sit in the freezer for weeks changing the mushies our ounce or twice I think for more potency. Have u ever tried it?

I'm sober now, (over 2 years) so no... sounds cool... though I'd use 100 proof vodka (spirit of choice, just 100 proof): it's 50% ethanol and 50% water... psilocybin is more soluble in water than ethanol, and will be the majority of your actives present... while psilocin is more soluble in ethanol... everclear is only 5% water, and thus probably not extremely effective at dissolving the psilocybin in it's entirety

I wonder if you'd get the same result with a little citric acid and water instead of lemon juice. It's sold at grocery stores, Wal-Mart, etc (I believe in powder form) by the canning stuff. Might store a little better (and taste better) than lemon juice.

The teaβs Iβve made in the past comes to be about 1 cup of liquid- so not unbearable. My dad always told me about how they would make tea, and only need a shot. I canβt wait to test out your recipe. About to prepare 5gβs and hike around the mountains with my pup.
Cheers!

I always wanted to have a two-sided conversation with my dog. Let us know if the pup had anything enlightening to say.
