One time I tried to put shrooms in orange juice and I didn't grind them too well.
It was the worst ingestion of mushrooms every, it tastes to bad I couldn't even finish it..

once i chewed up some fresh ones and spat them in some orange juice and drank them, then i barfed it back up and drank the barf. the trip was worth it though.

I'm thinking about making a tea when I finally get around to growing some shrooms for myself. The idea of tea is very appealing.

that doesn't make sense. If anything ground mushrooms will be stronger because more alkaloids will get absorbed into the liquid due to greater amount of exposed surface area.

so, how hot should the water be, when i put the mushrooms in? should it be boiling? should it not be boiling? different people say different things it'd be nice to have a point of reference from an experienced tea tripper in degrees celsius if possible (i'm from europe)

I don't think it matters so much. Psilocybin doesn't break down until ~400F.

That's what I said as well. One day I made a pot of hot cocoa with 6 grams of ground mushrooms, I steeped it for over an hour, then strained and dumped the little bits and pieces (with a very fine strainer). Me and two others split the pot three ways (roughly 2 grams per person). We went for a walk on a trail, got some mild visuals and then it died down very quickly (very disappointing). A couple days later we went for a second try and this time I made the pot with 6 grams of whole mushrooms instead of ground. I steeped for over an hour, strained, then dumped the mushrooms wholes. Once again I split the pot three ways, and each person got full effects.
Later I decided to experiment and see if there was a reason we did not get full effects from the first pot of cocoa. Only one of us had an excuse, and it was that he had eaten a large meal earlier in the day. Anyways, I made a pot for just myself with 2 grams of ground mushrooms, steeped for over an hour, then instead of straining and dumping I drank the cocoa with the bits and pieces. Full effects this time.
Maybe it's a coincidence?

recipe in my signature has been very good to me
always strain out the mushroom matter. one of the benefits of making tea is avoiding alot of the bad side effects like gas, nausea, cracked out comedowns, and so on.
if youre really sensitive to the nausea, strain through piece of cloth to filter out all the flakey dust that will be floating around.
i have noticed no loss in potency

The thing with tea is if you want to eat the mush at the bottom of the cup, or just drink the tea.
If you just want to drink the tea, make sure you steep the mushrooms for 45 minutes to an hour.
If your planning on eating the mush at the bottom you dont need to steep them for longer than 15 minutes. then scrape the mush up and swallow, spread onto some bread and make a sandwhich, or throw some honey in and turn it into a mushy honey goop and enjoy.

Further to my previous post.
The way i have done it, with no loss of potency.
1. Boil a kettle. 2. Put mushroom powder in cup with teabag of choice. 3. Once kettle boiled, pour into cup, let sit for 10 minutes, then strain through coffee filter into another cup/container. 4. Drink Fluid 5. Place mushy remnants from filter into a sandwhich, pain au chocolat, or other median and munch. 6. Tripping
And for reference this is a coffee filter -
