I did tea from straight mushroom without actual tea and used citric acid. I have used ginger and lemon twice to add flavor. Doesn't really make much of a difference because the stronger the tea, the worse it tastes. How much tea did you use per fresh mushrooms? I have like 420g of freshies ready to be brewed. I only want to make as little of the stuff as possible.

Just let me grab my harvest notes, be right back.........

Right then, so 654g fresh PES Amazonian went into a pan, over which I sprinkled 13g citric acid. Then I poured over 250ml (also weighs 250g) of boiling water and started mashing the heck out of the mushrooms. Before they were boiling, they were a bubbling steaming pulp.
Anyway, boiled on full heat stirring non-stop for one minute, turned heat to minimum and left for 10 minutes. Strained through cheese cloth then into ice cube trays.
I ended up with 35 ice cubes. From drying a separate 100g from the same flush, I knew the dry to wet ratio was 9.6%, meaning each ice cube equates to 1.8g dry.
Now these ice cubes are very dark brown (just as I remember liberty cap tea looking - thick black goo that tasted HORRENDOUS.
But two or three ice cubes boiled up in 150ml water, will go down the hatch a treat 
The downside is that I’ve been cooped up in lockdown with my daughter for months, so have so much stock I don’t know what to Dow this it! I’ve got boxes of dry, the ice cubes of fresh tea, and an alcohol tincture I made (2ml = 1g).
Can’t wait to get back to normal and start eating into my stocks

Have you been microdosing? You can get some of the mushroom benefits without actually getting high. I even did 3 microdoses like 2.6g wet per dose on the same day, and it did not create any noticeable tolerance, but I dunno maybe after a week of that there would be some. I just love to experiment with different doses and regimens because there is not often time to go full tripping mode.

I just toss the dry shrooms in my mouth, swig some water and swallow it all down. it’s not bad at all.

I haven’t pal, but I have been thinking about it. When lockdown started, it was for 3 weeks. That became 6 weeks. I basically haven’t left the house now in 16 weeks! Starting to panic as I haven’t even moved my car.
16 weeks, gone in 60 seconds! So maybe time to start microdosing; I am noticing my brain not getting reset by mushrooms.......
