What's the best way to mask the taste of mushrooms?

I have this really potent tea now with 50g/dl=100ml, and I made icecubes of that. I have become to loathe the taste of any mushroom tea. The smell I also find very strong nowadays, but it doesn't make me nauseous. The odor is very strong though. Luckily I haven't vomited from mushrooms so that's not a problem, but the thought of drinking something with the taste makes me nauseous. What's a good drink to make with these icecubes or a good drink to blend with the tea? So far I haven't tried anything. Just drank it straight and even diluted with water

I rip them up into about .75-1 inch pieces. Mix in a cup of yogurt. Then swallow whole bites.

That doesn't sound good and sounds hella gassy. I have only made tea to preserve them, I don't have a dehydrator.

You should invest in a quality dehydrator, man. Aside from that... Coarsely break mushrooms and make a tea/decoction with lemon juice and a very small volume of water. For 6 grams I'll use the juice of 1 - 1.5 lemons and approx ~50-75 ml water. Keep this just below simmer for twenty minutes in a small pot uncoverd, mindful to evaporate off what will in that time. After, strain with a coffe filter and squeeze the filter when you're done. I usually get large doses into 2oz of liquid. Not the best tasting but easy to down. Acid from the lemon helps the nsaty flavor a bit, IMO. Thats lemon tek (or my adaptation of it) in a nutshell.

thanks I do have a lot of liquid, too much in my tea. And the icecubes are like 5.7g wet so need like 8 of those for a good dose. That's too much. Maybe I can evaporate the tea on the stove? I guess it's easier to do tea with dried mushrooms. I could have used half the water last time. I got like 570g and poured water to fill them up to 1.5liters on the pot. That was enough to cover them.

Have you thought about maybe making jello or chocolate with the tea? Plenty of good teks on here.
For chocolate, I'm pretty sure you just have to melt a bar or two on the stove, mix the tea into it, and let it cool back down. You can store it in the fridge. Don't take my word for it though. I've never done it.
To answer your question, you can reduce/evaporate your tea on the stove too. I always reduce mine down to about a shot glass amount of liquid. Won't affect potency or anything.

Pina Colada Smoothie:-
120ml pineapple juice 60ml white rum 60ml coconut cream Mushroom ice cubes to suit.
Blend together, drink, sit back, enjoy the ride.
By the way, it tastes awesome, completely masks the taste of mushrooms, and masks the lemon in the tea too. Even though I don’t mind the taste at all - I mean, tea is done and dusted in less than 2 seconds...... If you find it so distasteful, rinse out the tea glass with orange juice - will get rid of the aftertaste, AND provide enough energy for the trip ahead

for me, not breathing through my nose is enough to not taste them at all. this doesnt seem to work for a lot of people though. no harm trying. holding it will help make sure you dont let a little air in.

I’m with most people here.
Honestly, it’s not so bad, is it? Hold your nose, you cannot taste or smell. Full stop.
But having accepted all that, I will concede this.......
When I first started, many many years ago,,with HUGE doses of fresh liberty caps in tea... It would generally involve a saucepan full of mushrooms in a few pints of boiling water. Yet the ensuing tea, would be a real thick, very dark, very unpleasant tasting goo. We would each end up with a glass full; from memory about 300ml liquid, like a very tall liquor glass full. This would be mixed 50:50 with straight Vimto (fruit cordial),,and would still taste repulsive.
So yes I get it, the taste can be really vile. So make the tea with a reasonable amount of mushrooms: 5g dry or 50g fresh, to end with 100ml tea. Down in one, two seconds flat. Absolutely no problem at all people 
Then the final bonus. Rinse the tea glass out with about 100ml orange juice.,will get rid of any mushroom and lemon taste, and give you enough energy so your blood sugar does not drop during the trip 
Come on, let’s all be honest here, it’s easy really, isn’t it???
Take care all DJ Ed

Yeah I know the trick to not breath at all and only after taking a chaser of some kind. I guess why I made this is that last time I didn't have any chaser and had too much to drink and the taste caught up. Now I have much more concentrated tea and and maybe a little juice in there or hot sauce or something to mask the taste a bit lol. I also shouldn't smell the stuff before... Maybe I have been too obsessed with the odor and the taste

That sluggy excuse for a tea reminds me of one of my ayahuasca drinks I made. It was not pleasant but yeah it's gone down the hatch in seconds.
I usually just eat them, but I have tried other methods but I grow mine so I know where they've been. Making tea seems like a bit of an extra step for me as I usually dose high anyway. But for wild mushrooms I go with tea every time. It's fucking fun to experiment in the kitchen.
Lol don't get me wrong if I go to eat a pinto bean I'm probably hurling all over. i understand the flavours are real.

You can do a Liquid extraction with everclear 190 proof. That way all you have to do is take 1cc of liquid for each gram.

I find fruit smoothies to be the best method to ingesting shrooms. I too cannot stand the taste and blended smoothies work great. Blended mochas are also a good choice.
Lately, Ive been doing a dry shroom/chocolate bar combo, as in take a bite of shrooms then take a bite of your favorite chocolate bar. Works pretty great. Also, flavored popcorn works well too, same kind of thing, take a bite of dry shrooms then eat some flavored popcorn. Try them out and see what works best for you

There are many great ways! A favorite of mine recently, has been crumbling them on a piece of bread and peanut butter. Did this while we were camping a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe how well it worked.
Was such an amazing trip too. Kind of a heavy snack to eat prior to a trip but didn't seem to have any less effect than usual! Just gotta make sure ya have water handy.. hell of a dry snack lol.
And.... there's always mushroom chocolate! Very easy to make, easy to store and very convenient.

As my wife had a pretty bad trip last year, the smell or taste of mushrooms makes her violently sick. What we've found works best for her is either tea, or hazelnut and chocolate, like Nutella, not to mention the Mayans were quite fond of pairing Cocoa and mushrooms. Hope this helps!

Hey hey LC,
I know you’re from the states, so you mean Peanut Butter and Jelly.
Well my mum married a yank and lived in Indiana for years. A way, he died, she came back home, married my dad, then brought us up on peanut butter and JAM sandwiches. Heaven on bread 🍞 , though all my mates thought I was weird lol.
But come on dude, speak the queen’s English;,what the heck is “jelly”

Shroom Jello is awesome to share and extremely effective at masking the taste.
Quote:
sausages said:

Delicious mushroom jelly recipe! I'm sure it's been done before, well here it is again, easy to make and great for sharing with friends. Scale up/down as required. Can kick in really fast, be aware of that. Keep way the fuck out of reach of children.
You will need:
Ground up dried mushrooms
Packet of jelly
Measuring jug
Kettle
Mixing bowl/jug
Jello Mold/Bowl
Refrigerator
Method:
1. Weigh out your dose of ground-up dried mushrooms. Measure 250 ml of boiling water.
2. Add the boiling water to the dried shrooms, standard "mushroom tea" making technique really. I find a coffee plunger to be useful for filtering out the solids. Place the liquid into the refrigerator and chill to room temperature. Filtering out the solids, you should have about 200 ml or so of liquid.
3. Add 1 packet of jelly to 250 ml boiling water and stir thoroughly.
4. Mix the shroom tea in with the jelly and pour into a suitable mold or container. Place in the refrigerator to set.
5. Eat the jelly, trip balls, have fun!

Hey dj ed,
I hear you guys over on that end of the pond are having financial problems. How about you and a couple of your mates (that's what they call friends over there) go down to that palace and rob that old hag?
Idk you guys the jams are pretty tasty. I do believe they add a lot more sugar to jelly. I can't eat too much sugar these days.

Government might be doing that for us; this country will be on its knees economically when (if?) lockdown is over! It’s a joke; we have lost over 40,000 people to this virus, but millions will suffer hardship for years, talking about 10% unemployment, highest in our history.
But yeah, keeping it positive, our jam is awesome

We are worst off over on this side with a 20+ % unemployment. People over here be like " I'm not wearing a mask, this is a free country." As if, freedom is loose noose around here. I can't even legally consume or grow mushrooms for fuck sake. If anything were helping the economy chug along. But nooooooooo.

How'd you make your tea InnerWisdom? I recently followed the instructions from DJ Ed.
Brewed tea on the stovetop, I used bags of a ginger-lemon flavor. Removed and tossed the tea bags. Chopped up the fresh Mazatapec and boiled for 15 minutes. Strained the mushroom meat off the top, squeezed, and tossed. Poured the tea in thermos for consumption.
It tasted like tea, there was nothing unpleasant about it whatsoever. I either picked the right kind of tea to start, the fresh mushies make a big difference, or I am just really tolerant.
P.S. Oh, I did weigh out some citric acid and added per PrimalSoup's formula. I don't think this really effected the flavor.

for me, shroom coffee hides the taste 100%.. boil shrooms, strain into cup.. add instant coffee however you like coffee.. done
OR.. the best way i found was take a bite of normal food.. toss in shrooms and chew.. for me a lot of it is the texture though, not the taste so much.

Also Quick soup/Cup a Soup again 100% masks the taste and is super easy. Just boil the water, add shrooms, add soup, stir and let it sit for a few minutes, then ingest.

Hey InfiniteDreams, I’ve done the 1:50 citric acid with my last batch of tea from fresh for freezing. Haven’t tried it yet. And rathe then spend ages chopping up a few 100 grams of fresh mushrooms, I piled them into my pan, so they were sticking out of the top like Mt Everest! Put the heat on, then mashed the heck out of them with a potato a masher. They were mashed, boiled, strained, and in ice cube trays in under 20 minutes 
But I’ve run out of freezer s-ace, so I’ve had to dry loads too....
For years now I have used lemon juice. It is weird how lemon ,asks any mushroom taste, but then I have learnt to hate the taste of lemon over the years. I always get rid of the after taste by drinking a glass of orange juice; this serves two purposes, to get rid of the taste, and stops my blood sugar dropping during the trip!

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.......
