First Experience Was Bumpy... I Might Try Making Tea

I'm wanting to grind some shrooms into a powder to make tea but I'm kinda new so here I am.
Is it true that boiling shrooms in water to make tea has very little impact on psilocybin loss? If so this is perfect! (An aside, it's interesting that boiling vegetables in a soup/stew retains almost all the nutrients in the water while frying removes up to 40% of B vitamins and minerals).
My plan here is to place the powder in a french press, add boiling water, stir vigorously and press down the filter.
I struggle with moderate bloating and IBS. The first time I took a good dose (4 to 4.5 grams) was after eating some pizza. I had a great time laughing myself to tears at the most random of things and finding interesting correlations and parallels between things that I otherwise would not. I also came to know that problems we face don't go away no matter how deep and hidden they are.
I was hoping to hallucinate a little and to get some interesting visuals. Colours were more saturated but that's kind of it.
As the night went on I couldn't sleep and my stomach felt like it was tied in several knots. The pain was intense for a bit, but it slowly dulled as I kept sipping water. (Perhaps drinking more water before helps). My insomnia was quite bad that night too and I'm not sure it was the shrooms that contributed to it. (I took them around 10 PM or so). I began feeling tired and I went into an altered state (like sleep paralysis) in which I thought I was a human vegetable. I also knew what drugs were but I forgot what weed was. I was smelling my nugs thinking "Am I addicted to these? Are they the root of my social problems?"
Weird stuff, right? It makes no sense in the real world but when thought about more broadly it makes perfect sense. This was an ego death in which I was worried about how others think about me.
Anyway, hopefully with the tea I'll be able to explore the realms of higher doses (5g to 7g and beyond) without the stomach cramping.
Thanks for the time guys and sorry to talk your ear off.
*Edit - I just thought of this: Adding honey to a fruit tea and freezing it into popscicles. Oh the possibilities!

Soaking in alcohol could also work. It feels to me like that makes the onset faster compared to eating them plain.

"As the night went on I couldn't sleep and my stomach felt like it was tied in several knots. The pain was intense for a bit, but it slowly dulled as I kept sipping water. (Perhaps drinking more water before helps)."
One thing I noticed when young to mushroom consumption, I made personal error of fasting before eating the magic mushrooms and then while the mushroom trip was occurring I would be in the mental headspace forgetting about the meal or two I missed during the whole day. Happy belly, happy mind. When all that balanced out, adding meals to experience, the trip were much less a load.
Pizza is a lot of dough and that dough will act as sponge that you hydrate to aid digestion by drinking water and other beverages, or if not hydrating self that pizza will absorb liquid from bodily organs. Would only make sense guts be a shifting and of noticeable presence if forgot to hydrate the body.
Just saying, remember to eat and drink as needed for well being.

I too get massive gastrointestinal discomfort if i eat shrooms.
I now make tea after this receipe and have no more problems.
This really is so much better and potency loss is not an issue.

That makes sense, thanks for sharing your experience. Those stomach cramps on shrooms are no joke if you're not careful. Lesson learned.
The pizza I had was a more salty one (feta, olives) and I had a few beers beforehand (met with a friend).
I'll definitely drink water before and after consumption going forward.
I have one little question - is there a point where you take mushrooms and can hear and see things that aren't there? I used to think that was the case but for me it made me happy and opened my mind in ways like nothing else ever could.
The reason I'm curious is I'd like to at some point try some acid, and (with some serious prep) give DMT a rip. I'd just be a little nervous about meeting those tiny aliens peering through a curtain that (celebrity) Joe Rogan talked about... Machine Elves I think?
It sounds fascinating and terrifying, but (like they say), YOLO. I'll also have someone there to keep on eye on me when the time comes.

If you go with making mushroom tea you can also always try straining the fungal matter out after its soaked in all the goodies in order to avoid having to deal with digesting as much chitin.
Additionally, you can mix in or supplement with fresh ginger, or ginger extract, and combine with lemon balm to help the medicine go down, sit down, and pass through the G.I. system a little bit more smoothly.
I'd also advise looking into the ginger & lemon balm on web-md or another legitimate source of information which can educate you as to their properties, along with any potential interactions to look out for if you happen to also take certain medications or other supplements etc, etc.
Lastly, if you can help it - I find that tripping on an empty bowel helps mitigate some of the potential gastric discomfort to an extent.

I recommend making a shroom fruit smoothie to help with the stomach pains. Or frozen mocha drinks work well too.

I'd suggest green tea mixed with nice herbal or fruity ingredients for flavor and smell. Green tea will be lower in caffeine. For instance, Tazo makes a green tea called Zen that has mint in it. One of my commercial favorites. Storehouse Tea makes a citron jasmine rooibos that is excellent.
Don't take it all the way to boiling. Boiling green tea can make it bitter and give an unpleasant mouth feel. It should be slightly lower temp than black teas.
Green teas can be easier on the stomach too.
Enjoy.
