Step-by-Step Guide

Grinding or Chopping

Use a knife to chop your chosen fungi or grind it into small pieces. Grinding or chopping increases their surface area, thereby making the process more efficient. Breaking it down into smaller parts or a fine powder allows the water to dissolve the active compounds more effectively. This method also ensures a faster and even steeping.

Preparing the Water

Fill your pot or kettle with water and heat it until it boils. As soon as When the water begins to boil, take it off the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes until it stops boiling. It’s important to ensure that the water is not boiling when you add it to the powdered or chopped Psilocybe. This helps to prevent the breakdown of sensitive compounds, thus preserving their strength and quality.

Infusion

Allow the hot water to mingle with the Psilocybe for a prolonged period. This action is critical as it enhances the extraction of active compounds. This process also helps to soften the Psilocybe, making it easier to digest than when consumed raw. During this time, you can also infuse a tea bag if you prefer.

Filtering

Following the infusion, filter the mixture using a coffee filter or cheesecloth. This action eliminates solid particles, resulting in a smoother and more pleasant tasting liquid. Apart from improving the texture, filtering ensures that only the liquid filled with active compounds is consumed, potentially avoiding any digestive discomfort that could occur from swallowing gritty solids.

Adding Flavor (Optional)

If you wish, you can improve the taste by adding sweeteners or lemon, as the natural flavor of Psilocybe may be too strong and unpalatable for some. Ingredients such as lemon juice can also assist in converting psilocybin into its more potent form, psilocin, which may enhance absorption and overall effects.

This recipe builds on the basic method by replacing plain hot water with a powerful herbal decoction.
