A simple and effective water extraction (also in german)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have tried ingesting mushrooms in a wide variety of ways-- I highly recommend this particular recipe. Some people argue that mushrooms are fine without any special method of preparation (ausser dem Säubern von Kuhmist oder Vermiculit), I argue that the onset is swifter and smoother when ingested in tea. This recipe produces a very potent drink (assuming you are starting >from good material), so don't worry about heat destroying the active chemicals- any loss is negligable.

Do whatever pre-trip preparedness things that you usually do
Start some water boiling, enough for at least 3 cups. Add a squirt of lemon juice.
Chop the mushrooms by hand (I used to use a coffee grinder, but this produces a very fine powder which is not practical when using a tea ball)
Put the little fun guys in a tea ball, place tea ball in cup (I use a normal coffee cup)
Pour boiling water over mushrooms, let steep for about 10-15 minutes. Add whatever tea you want midway through steeping for flavor (Celestial Seasonings orange spice mixes with it pleasantly, I've found)
Drink!
Repeat steps 4 and 5 once or twice. I've never had the occasion to repeat the steps more than twice, a triple extraction is usually more than plenty. In practice, if the mushrooms are good, by the time you get to cup #3 you may choose not to continue because you're already tripping quite hard.
