Tea and efficiency

We usually just powder our shrooms in a coffee grinder but this weekend my significant other wants to try some tea to alleviate stomach issues and to experiment with different methods of ingestion. I’m curious too but my main issue is efficiency of extraction. Just like with steeping grains in beer brewing, if you get to 80 percent you’re doing pretty good lol. I don’t want to lose anything or keep it minimal. I searched recipes on here and there is a lot of info but most of it is years old. Just thought I would post and ask what the consensus is on here in 2020 for attaining maximum extraction without damaging those wonderful psychedelic compounds. I’d imagine some would say to just consume all the solid matter as well but since we are experimenting I want to leave the solids behind to see if it really does help with the stomach issues some of us have. Thanks.

I love tea. You dont have to consume the material, the matter itself is what causes most of the stomach discomfort.
I would say its probably 95% efficient. Thats a guess but I cant notice any waste.

If wasting mushrooms is an issue that could possibly stop you from helping your SO avoid stomach discomfort...... you should take up cultivation and then go ahead and make your partner a cup of tea, even if you take your dose powdered. Eat their tea scraps too. 
Tea comes up quicker, so, to more evenly match experiences, drink about 1/4 of the cup about every 15 mins.
Then, again, since you haven’t tried tea before, you should give it a whirl too. It hits a bit quicker and harder, even if there is potency loss... it gets into your system much faster than dried.

Tea is marginally less efficient than eating the mushrooms, BUT it is 1,000,000x better at minimising nausea. And tit comes on faster too. And if you use lemon juice, it will be even stronger, but maybe shorter.
- Crush up your dried mushrooms in a pan.
- Pour over enough lemon juice to wet the powder.
- Pour over boiling water.
- Turn on heat and bring back to the boil.
- Once bubbling turn the heat down slightly and simmer for 10-20 mins.
- Let cool.
- Now pour through a tea towel, or cloth, cheese cloth etc
- Allow to drain, then squeeze the rest of the juice out of the mushrooms into your glass.
- Drink down in one.
- Rinse out with orange juice.
- Get ready........

Thanks. We are going to give it a whirl tomorrow. As gas as cultivation goes. My spores will be here Monday as well as my pressure cooker. Going straight to Agar and then Bods unmodified tub tek.

IME this is the best way to do it for compact (easy to ingest) results: Acidic Tea Tek
If you don't mind tossing back a lot of tea you can just use 10x as much water and not bother with acidifying the brew: Mushboy's Tea
No you don't want to ingest the solids.

Tea is easy man.
Ime it hits stronger and faster. I never noticed it being shorter duration
Fill the cups with water you plan to use for the tea plus a bit extra to account for what boils out and toss in the pot.
Bring water to boil.
Add tea.
Let boil in, remove tea.
Add broken up shrooms.
Simmer for 15 min.
I add lemon juice at this step during the simmer.
Turn off.
Pour into cups and leave behind the solid.
Add honey.
Enjoy.
Drink slower to slow the rapid onset from downing it all at once.
Again, ime tea is stronger and a bit different.
Try a lower dose to begin so you get a feel for it

Each “ice cube” equivalent to 1.75g dry Mazatapec, made from fresh, as per PS’s tea method.
Remember to seal the frozen material or the psilocin degrades overnight......
