Psilocybin can dramatically alter one’s perception of reality, creating altered states of consciousness and elevating mood and sensory experiences. Magic mushrooms can be consumed either directly by eating them or through Lemon Tek, an innovative method which involves soaking mushrooms in lemon juice before taking. We will discuss how you can make Lemon Tek magic mushroom tea, along with why this may be suitable for you in this article.

Mushroom tea is a beverage created by steeping dried psilocybin mushrooms in hot water for six to eight hours to release their psychoactive components, including psilocybin and psilocin, that may induce mind-altering trips or cause pleasurable sensations. As these effects can last for six hours, be mindful when drinking this beverage in order to ensure safe consumption in an ideal setting.

Your options for making dried mushroom tea are virtually limitless; however, certain varieties have their own specific benefits in terms of flavor and effect. Reishi has an earthy and comforting aroma, while cordyceps has a slightly sweet, slightly nutty taste which some find stimulating or energetic. Other users enjoy making mushroom tea blends that combine different kinds of mushrooms for desired effects; mixing reishi with cordyceps creates an invigorating blend while simultaneously helping calm nervous tension.

No matter which variety of mushroom you use to make tea, it’s essential that you proceed with caution when preparing it. Psilocybin present in mushrooms is photosensitive and breaks down when exposed to light, so store your mushrooms in an opaque container or wrap them in aluminum foil to protect from light exposure. It would also be wise to keep them away from stimulants like caffeine that might compromise their potency such as caffeine.

Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients and tools, it’s time to begin making tea! First, you will need to prepare the mushrooms by either cutting into small pieces or creating spore prints. Once this step is completed, combine all of the mushrooms in a pot of boiling water on the stove before simmering the tea for several minutes before straining and drinking it.

Some people like to enhance the effects of their tea by adding other substances such as kava or lemon juice, both known for helping with anxiety and depression, respectively. Lemon juice has also been proven to reduce nausea. Furthermore, such additions may amplify the benefits of the psilocybin and entheogens contained within.

If you are new to mushroom tea, we advise starting off slowly and increasing gradually over time. Psilocybin can be quite potency so we advise starting small the first time around as psilocybin may cause side effects that require attention and avoidance of overdoing it on day 1.
