Shelf life of lemon tek. 1

Has any one ever strained after soaking dry fruits and kept juice for extended period of time?
Just looking for a way to put into liquid besides liquor. I am wondering if it would hold potency and not spoil?
Any thoughts?

The question is more " what is the shelf life of lemon juice?" I would say a batch of lemon tek would last overnight at room temp or a week in the fridge. Maybe it would be possible to freeze it in an ice cube tray. You could also add preservatives to the lemon juice (ascorbic acid or tocopherol). Or use a different infusion liquid that would be more robust; maybe citric acid mixed into distilled water.

Yea good idea about adding asorbic acid. I am curious about potency loss as well. Just wanted to see if anyone else ever infused a bottle of lemon juice before.

Psilocin begins to degrade at a ph of 7. The acidity of lemon juice is 2.3. So as long as you keep it free from air and contamination it will most likely last a while.

Hi, I had some dried shrooms that I grind it with weed grinder. I socked them up in lemon juice, I had an unexpected business so I couldn’t take it after the recommended 20 minute. I just covered the TEK and refrigerated it over night, I had it next day about 24 hours later. I strained it with a tea strainer I had and added the juice to my peppermint tea. It was still potent and the great part of all this is i didn’t get any of the nausea that I would usually get at the beginning of the ride
I used 1.5 dried in 2 tablespoons of lemon overnight
Edit: excuse spelling

I mixed up a lemon tek one day, but the day took a turn and I didn't get to dose. So, instead of pouring it down the drain, I poured it into a ice cube tray and froze it. Weeks later I thawed it and dosed. Zero loss in potency.

I'd assume freezing would keep it pretty indefinitely, I've had batches of ayahuasca in my freezer for over a year with no noticeable potency loss on either the caapi/rue side or the MHRB.

Yeah, freeze it. I had mushroom tea in the freezer once for almost 3 years and it was the same as when it got stored when I got around to doing it.
