The real skinny on tea

Okay I cannot find a real answer to my question concerning making shroom tea.
Sceintifically speaking I hear that psylocin and psylocibin are both extremly sensitive to heat.
On the other hand, they are both really water solubal..
sorry for my spelling, anyways
I have heard that its almost impossible to get mushroom tea TOO hot on a conventional stove, I forgot where I read it but I cant find it again.
and as for the shroomery tea recipe I dont want to grind my shrooms up into powder because of the oxidization thing..
so can someone answer this for me? can I just put 1/4 of shrooms into a pot and boil it down till theres a few shots and drink it? will it effect any of the potency?
I hear making tea is by far the most enjoyable way to go.. and I hate, HATE the taste of shrooms in my mouth while im shrooming (the shit never fucking leaves)
plus the dread-saltless-sunflower seed taste stuck in your teeth? yughk
Well, thanks.
oh yeah and eh.. make sure to go into a dark silent room next time your frying.

i have put a 1/4 of shrooms in boiling water. boiled it down to 2 cups, and some lemon juice (to possibly increase effects). It worked just fine.

i ate some of the same batch a week earlier, i didn't notice any loss of potentcy, their might be a potentcy loss, but nothing that i noticed, so i am assuming their isn't a big loss. Besides, it was worth it for the taste difference. (which wasn't that bad)

The only time I've had tea that wasn't as strong as it should have been was when I DIDN'T let it come to a boil. Since then I've always brought to a boil for 10 minutes, let it simmer for another 20, sweetened, and enjoyed. Tea comes-on much more quickly for me than does eating solid shrooms, dried or wet. It always feels like the sum effect is bigger, too, though that could just be the result of the faster come-on. Hibiscus tea tastes good with it, too. Enjoy!

pure liquid water, by itself, cannot get hotter than 212 degrees farenheit. The temperature that psilocin breaks down at is in the 300 degree range I think.

Man i must be like weird, but i have acquired the weirdest facination for a mushrooms taste. Active and Non Active. In Fact, I could eat active mushrooms for pure flavor. I guess i have been blessed with it.

You could play it safe and just not boil it. I've never boiled my tea and i always have great results. Heres my recipe:
Break up your dose of shrooms as small as possible. Fill up a large glass with water then pour that into a pot. Bring that water to a boil, and right as its boiling turn it down to the lowest setting. Once the boiling stops, Add the shrooms, and put a lid on the pot. Let them soak for 15 minutes, occasionally stirring/mashing the mushrooms. (i use a spatula to smash the water out of the bits and so new water gets in) After 15 minutes, strain, making sure you squeeze all the water out of the mush. I will usually do a second pull with about half the ammount of water as the first pull. Basically just repeat all the steps but do 5-10 minute soak instead of 15, and use fresh water. The mushrooms are now void of most/all psilocybin and you may toss them in the rubbish bin.
So 15-25 minutes after you've started you've got a tall glass of super potent tea. Buckle up, put your tray tables in their locked and upright position, and hold on!

so boiling mushrooms does not decrease potency? im planning on making a tea and boiling for 20 minutes, then letting sit for a while.

A sobe bottle cap once told me "It's a free country, drink whatever you want." I said to the cap... "bullshit..... I want mushroom tea."
