How to Make Lemon Tek Mushroom Tea
People who enjoy taking psilocybin mushrooms often resort to lemon tek, which involves soaking the mushrooms in lemon juice prior to taking. It’s believed that this process helps expedite effects by pre-converting psilocybin to psilocin – the active component that causes psychedelic reactions – without needing stomach digestion to process psilocybin which may otherwise lead to nausea and other uncomfortable side-effects.
Lemon tek mushroom tea can be an easy and enjoyable way to maximize the benefits of your mushrooms, but before attempting it it’s important to be aware of potential side-effects and risks associated with taking any drug containing psilocybin, including hallucinations, changes in time perception and reality perception, emotional intensity (both good and bad) and hallucinations. While lemon tek is generally safe from physical perspective it’s still wise to be aware of all possible dangers involved with taking this experience.
If you want to give this method a try, the first step should be gathering either fresh or dried magic mushrooms and grinding them into powder form – this ensures that psilocybin will be evenly dispersed throughout your tea. Once this step is completed, simply combine your ground magic mushroom powder with hot water in a pot for 20 minutes for ingestion into the system and take note! You should now experience its therapeutic benefits!
Once the mushrooms have steeped for enough time, remove them and strain out their liquid. At this stage you have several options for enjoying your mushroom tea: as-is or add additional ingredients such as herbal blends, chai spices, honey, cinnamon sticks or lemon slices to enhance its flavor and experience. Experiment until you find one that works best for you.
Note that some have reported using lime as a lemon tek replacement, though there hasn’t been much scientific proof to back this claim up. Although both lime and lemon contain citric acid used for the process of teking, their pH levels differ and could affect your experience significantly.
To make lemon tek mushroom tea successfully, it’s essential that you begin with clean and high-quality mushrooms – the freshest possible will produce the strongest and most fragrant aroma. Furthermore, be sure to disinfect all equipment used and work in an open, ventilated space so as to minimize risk.
Lemon tek has proven itself as an effective alternative to more traditional methods, yet offers similar effects. With faster onset times and potentially intense experiences, this could be beneficial during therapy sessions where time is limited; it’s essential that your goals be established before selecting a method.
