How to make lemon mushroom tea

One popular method of preparing magic mushrooms is known as Lemon Tek and has become widely shared online from Reddit to Erowid. The idea behind Lemon Tek is that acidity of lemon juice converts psilocybin into psilocin, relieving pressure from stomach and making the experience faster and stronger than simply chewing and swallowing magic mushrooms; additionally, Lemon Tek may reduce nausea caused by eating mushrooms.

To create lemon mushroom tea, cut your truffles or mushrooms into smaller pieces to increase surface area and soak for 10 minutes in hot water before placing the mixture into a cup and steeping.

Benefits of lemon mushroom tea

Mushrooms have quickly become an industry trend when it comes to health, beauty and healing. Long used as medicine in ancient civilizations, mushrooms have recently made headlines as an immune-boosting source. You may have even come across mushroom tea or coffee on social media or at your local juice bar; these beverages contain powdered mushroom extract mixed into tea or coffee beverages for consumption. Mushrooms offer numerous benefits like increasing immunity, improving cognitive function and decreasing stress.

Lemon Tek is one of the many methods that people employ to increase the effects of magic mushrooms, by soaking them in lemon juice prior to consumption. This may speed up conversion from psilocybin into psilocin in the body while simultaneously decreasing nausea and making trips much more intense than if taken straight. Some users report that Lemon Tek makes their trip significantly more intense than taking mushrooms plain.

Lemon Tek’s great advantage lies in its ease, as you don’t require special ingredients or knowledge to do it at home with ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. Still, for optimal results and to adjust to its high more quickly, try taking plain magic mushrooms at first as this will help your body adjust. Newcomers to magic mushrooms might wish to start out with smaller doses (0.2 to 0.5 grams) first in order to prevent too-powerful highs that cause nausea.

Side effects of lemon mushroom tea

Many are beginning to realize the immense health advantages mushrooms provide beyond elevating mood, improving cognitive function and protecting against degenerative diseases. Mushrooms also boast potency antioxidants which may lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, lower blood sugar levels and ease inflammation.

But not all mushrooms are created equal, and how you prepare them can greatly influence the experience you have when taking them. One popular method, known as Lemon Tek, involves soaking magic mushrooms in lemon juice before eating them to help avoid nausea while simultaneously amplifying their effects and speeding up their onset.

Lemon Tek requires ground mushrooms ground into a fine powder before being mixed with hot water and left to sit for 10-20 minutes, allowing psilocybin contained within them to release into solution, increasing surface area and making digestion more manageable. Furthermore, adding acid from lemon juice kickstarts the breakdown of chitin, the substance responsible for creating magical mushroom effects.

Lemon mushroom tea can help alleviate nausea during travel. The tea can be prepared using various mushrooms such as Reishi, Chaga and Lion’s Mane mushrooms or those found on Schedule 35 to reduce nausea; although research into its effectiveness remains scarce. Anecdotal reports have demonstrated its efficacy.

Ginger can also help reduce nausea. Gingerol and shogaol, two phytochemicals present in ginger, interact with brain’s serotonergic 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors to combat nausea, providing further reduction. When combined with standard tea it further enhances flavor and absorption of medicinal mushrooms.

If you want to try mushroom tea for yourself, we suggest purchasing high-grade psilocybin mushrooms from a reliable vendor such as Schedule 35 and grinding them into a fine powder before mixing in hot water in a pot and leaving to steep for 10-20 minutes before stirring again and serving.
