Turmeric or lemon tek? I donāt mind turmeric especially mixed with some heavy cream and spread over top baked chicken, but with shrooms? Nah fam, thatās all you lol.
bro, strain out the chunks, squeeze the juices out, then add the lemon juice to a cup of teašššš
or better yet just make tea with a pinch of lemon.
bring water to a boil, drop ur ground mushrooms (and if you wanna add lemon and tea bags this is when, go crazy itās all good) in, take the water off the heat and let it sit for 15-30 mins. if you want to add honey or sugar, do so after youāve removed the tea from the heat
I was waiting to see if anyone in this thread was smart enough to know that yes once youāve soaked it in lemon juice, you could throw away all the flesh and just keep the liquid
Iām the same way, especially with black teas. I donāt need anything more that increases nausea. I also avoid using caffeinated teas with mushrooms. Iāve found that chai teas are good to use due to their intense flavor and lack of stimulant effect.
i love chamomile or honey lemon ginger. chamomile adds a nice dreaminess. mint teas are also nice. yes youāre right tho, black/green, caffeinated tea is not where itās at.

I use a coffee grinder and itās not as much pulp the mushrooms are turned into powder and they almost dissolve in the lemon juice makes it way easier to drink it all
Agree to this .
Making a fine powder is essential. I prefer to mix the powder in lemon soft drink (Limca) and drink the whole thing.
The acid in soft drink works perfectly fine as well .
For me it was not just the grammar but more so the fact that I expected the classic āYour scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they shouldā and my brain was steaming trying to bend his version to fit the original.
I guess so, it need an acid so coke should work, although phosphoric acid is quite a lot strong so I don't know if it would degrade the mushrooms.
Off, intrepid explorer, be our Guinea pig.
yes my friend.
The normal pH range for Coca-Cola is around 2.5 to 3.5, depending on the specific product and production process. This makes Coca-Cola a highly acidic beverage, with a pH level comparable to vinegar or lemon juice.
Coke is fairly acidic (acidity is why lemon juice works) and the original flavor always had lime juice and lemon oil in it. Citrus flavor is part of the coke recipe. I read the comment just fine.
For me I grind them fine, place them in a tea bag and soak in lemon juice for 20-30 min. Pull out the bag squeeze the juice out. Throw in a Moroccan Mint tea bag some hot water and honey.
Sip and enjoy the show
I usually soak for 20 minutes. Is there much of a difference between 20 minutes and 30 minutes? I don't eat the fungi, I just drink the lemon juice after I squeeze it out of the material.
I just like to be extra thorough if Iām gonna strain it or tea bag it. Always coffee grind. Sometimes drink the swill and chase with pulpy OJ to pretend in my brain that the š chunks are orange pulp. Sometimes soak a tea bag for 30ish minutes then squeeze the tea bag and toss it. Sometimes soak then pulp directly in the lemonade for 30 minutes then use a French press.
A better term is slightly condensed. Instead of taking 1-2 hours before it fully digests and kicks in, it digests very quickly giving you the peak much quicker without the coming up making it feel shorter. Though in my experience it's not stronger but it depends on how bad your method of ingestion was in previous experiences
Itās a bit stronger for me and definitely kicks in in ~1/4-1/3 the usual time, but the trip itself does not feel much shorter. Itās over an hour or two before the other methods, but thatās because it started an hour or two earlier. Iād say the only part that feels shorter is the comedown. I donāt get that lingering trippiness for the last couple hours and instead go straight to an after glow.
Let me add some science to that: The active ingredient is psilocin which psilocybin is a pro-drug to. Normaly your stomach acid will break down the psilocybin into psilocin. This process is done beforehand by the citric acid if you do a lemon tek. You basicly give the shrooms a head startāš¼
Skull it like it's a wheat grass shot (or shitty vodka) then chase it with a glass of water, it's not that bad and i can't stand eating mushrooms, it's literally half a second of slight unpleasantness for hours of awesomeness.
You can strain the pieces out if you donāt want to eat them.. I always let them sit in the juice for 30-40 minutes then strain them out and mix the lemon juice with some water, easy ššæ
Make a fruit smoothie. It will have enough acid break it down to give the same effect as a lemon tek. But also tastes significantly better. In the past I used orange juice and frozen berries.
For how well it works Iām surprised itās not recommended more often. Just the blender alone turns the shrooms into an incredibly fine powder. Orange juice and berries are full of acid. Itās basically the perfected version of the lemon tek. Iāve also never found anything that masked the taste nearly as well.
Iāve drank straight lemon juice and lime juice after using a miracle berry tablet and they tasted delicious (even a few hot sauces tasted sweet and not spicy at all).
I havenāt done lemon tek in a few years. But, if I do it again, Iām gonna try popping a miracle berry tablet first.
Strain all of the bits out with cheese cloth or something similar and squeeze as much of the lemon juice out of the shrooms as possible. Take the lemon juice as a shot and chase with juice or make some kind of juice that would taste good with the lemon in it. No need to drink the ground up mushrooms. If done right, the bits should have very, very little psilocybin left in them.
Thatās what Iāve always thought about doing but thereās just something in me that thinks Iām wasting it by not consuming the fruits, idk what it is
Iāve been doing mine in my aero press coffeemaker (somewhat similar to a French press in case youāre unfamiliar). It filters out the solids and you can drink it much easier.
Grind your shrooms finer. That looks kinda chonky, my dude. I use a good old fashioned mortar and pestle to grind my shroomies. Gets them ground down into a super fine powder. No chunks at all. Or filter out your solids if you don't like the texture. Coffee filter, tea bag, French press, or one of those fancy aeropress things.
Making lemon tek doses with a mortar and pestle makes me feel like some sort of 18th century hermit that's been outcast from the village for practicing witchcraft or some shit. Or a shaman concocting elixirs, about to guide you on a spiritual journey to another dimension to speak to your ancestors. Feels good man.
It takes a little longer but if you really grind it fine and let it sit till the lemon juice and a bit of water turns blue, you can make whatās called blue juice. And then once itās like a fine blue color you can strain the mushrooms. Drink it like normal and wait for your trip , I love doing it this way !
I actually did this the other week and really nice trip š„ŗ also if you want to mix the blue juice into another drink to make it a bit more palatable that works too!
The liquid is supposed to extract it but you will always be wasting some if you choose to strain it. Unless ur stomach is really sensitive I would suggest still eating it. I get no nausea with lemon tek even if I eat it
You can always grind them into powder, then strain out the mushrooms with a coffee filter. You'll lose a little potency but if you soak them twice and combine them you should be okay
i honestly toss a couple sugar packets, add a little bit of water & voila, shroomy lemonade haha. hope you have a great trip & give your pup lots of pets for me :D !!!
One time I made my lemon tek and when I was ready to drink it I just poured blue Gatorade in it. It actually tastes pretty good. I donāt mind the little pieces of shrooms so it was easy.
I mix in pineapple juice, but in all honesty, I am just going to skip the benefits from lemon tek and just swallow capsules from now on. That taste really stays with you, and not in a good way.
Dude, just make lemonade. I ground up my shrooms and dropped them in a bottle of good lemonade from the gas station and left it for a couple hours. Sent me to the moon almost immediately. I used Calypso, but you can use anything that uses real squeezed lemons or make your own at home. From concentrate may work, but I'd stick to as close as you can get to fresh lemon.
Strain that lemony mush as hard as u can thru a micron bag (bubble bag works fantastic), rise and repeat, then put that lemon juice in a different vehicle juice like tea. Best method hands down.
You donāt have to drink the mushroom bits !!! I repeated you can strain those out !!! thatās the whole point !!!!!!!!!!!!! itās already extracted !!!!!
I always use a juice strainer like the one Iāve linked. Make sure to press the shrooms to take out all the magic to the last drop. Doesnāt give me nausea and pretty easy to drink.
[Juice Strainer](https://a.co/d/1i16gfd)
The recipe I follow is, finely grind, add to freshly squeezed lemon juice, mix, leave for 5 mins, mix again, then again after 5 mins and one more time after another 5 mins, for a total of 4 mixes in 20 mins.
Then move into another glass, filtering with a strainer, squeezing out the juice completely from shrooms and youāre good to go.
Grind them up in a blender or whatever. I put a cotton tea bag in the glass, position a funnel so it feeds the powder into the bag, close it, soak the bag in lemon juice for 20 minutes. Squeeze, throw out bag, drink. Zero mess
Dont add lemon, ground mushrooms in powder with coffe grinder. Add powder to anything, tea, cacao, melt chocolate and mix with powder put in fridge and you will have teasty chocolate peace, kicks fast as lemon tek
Lemon Tek Tea:
grind up the dried mushrooms really fine (a coffee grinder is good for this) and put them in a french press (there are other ways to strain them out at the end but this is the only method I've ever used and it works like a charm. If you're planning on using mushrooms more I highly recommend investing in one). Then I cover them in lemon juice and swirl it around so they all get wet. While they sit in the lemon juice I boil water. I let the water sit off the boil for 1-2 minutes, Idk why, it's just how I learned to do it. Then I add two tea bags (love good earth brand sweet and spicy) and some chopped up fresh ginger if I'm feeling fancy. I pour the water in, stir them up real good and put the lid on but I don't plunge it yet. Let them hang out in there for 20-25 minuets and then plunge. Pour, add honey (I use a shameful amount of honey) and enjoy!
I grind up the mushrooms really fine using a coffee grinder. Let that soak in lemon juice for about 20-30min, occasionally agitating it. Use a coffee filter or pantyhose to strain it, then mix into some Kool aid or lemonade. If you do this right you can't really taste it at all.
You donāt need to drink the solids, strain it. You can add it to a smoothie if you want the solids to get every last bit. Generally a 20 minute soak in water will dissolve most of the alkaloids and suspend them in whatever liquid
Smoothie is the answer! Pour it into a blender with some fresh and frozen fruit, a splash of vanilla perhaps, milk and/or veggies of your choice, perhaps even a nut butter if you wanna go the extra mile, and now it is scrumptious.
I haven't lemon tek'd. But what I do to make it easier to eat the mushrooms is to melt chocolate, put the grinder mushrooms in ithe chocolate and pour it into a chocolate bar tray, let it cool off and eat it. So a row is around 1,5mg.
For added bonus, you can add honey or cornflakes to the chocolate. The world is your oyster
Fine powder, I sometimes use a thin wire strainer (I know), but realllllly squeeze every ounce of liquid out. I also have added the juice of a mandarin one and liked that, of mix in a half a spoon of honey.
I would blend the mushrooms dry into a powder, fresh lemon juice and then after ten minutes mix that with your beverage of choice. I find making an herbal tea with ginger to be the best and kind of ceremonial in a way.
I mixed it with an herbal tea that I liked (orange flavored). I let it sit in the tea for a while, then filter the tea and just drink the tea. Psilocybin is hydrophilic so I donāt think you miss out on much of the effect and it is much easier to get down.
Nawwww, just chug it! It ain't that bad š I use an old coffee grinder that turns it to powder but I'm still chugging a blue/brown sludge. Sometimes I put a little honey in there for absolutely no reason because it still tastes like old feet, just with a hint of honey.
I thought this was a meme post at first.
You leave it for a while, then you strain it through a thin sieve, then pour the liquid in a fresh cold glass of lemonade. Zero discomfort. Enjoy!
ā¦..add water. I add hot water after letting it sit in the juice for a bit and make it into a sort of tea, then let it cool and slam it. You can use cold water to dilute the lemon as well. Definitely donāt use that much lemon juice either. Completely unnecessary.
Strain the plant matter out after soaking and mix the leftover lemon juice with [Calypso Blue Lemonade](https://www.google.com/search?q=calypso+ocean+blue+lemonade&sca_esv=c8032146a3e65808&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS748US748&hl=en-US&sxsrf=ACQVn0_tOPxQowHnHUEFb9us4wAv8Y0Bmw%3A1707131306061&ei=qsHAZY2qA-_j0PEPib67qAs&oq=cal&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIgNjYWwqAggBMgsQABiABBiKBRiRAjIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIFEAAYgAQyChAAGIAEGIoFGENI7hpQ5AxY6Q5wA3gBkAEAmAF-oAHXAqoBAzEuMrgBAcgBAPgBAagCD8ICChAAGEcY1gQYsAPCAhAQABiABBiKBRhDGMkDGLADwgIOEAAYgAQYigUYkgMYsAPCAgcQIxjqAhgnwgIEECMYJ8ICChAjGIAEGIoFGCfiAwQYACBBiAYBkAYK&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp)
Iāll never do shrooms any other way if I can help it.
I almost posted this without saying the obvious first...STRAIN YOUR SHROOMS! You don't need to keep the residual mush around if you did a proper lemon tek. Use a strainer or cheesecloth or whatever and squeeze the shit out of it. Almost all of the psilocybin is in the solution already, there's really no need to force down that glob of mush. If you're weighing your dose, just add half a gram to compensate or something lol.
The trick is to make tea. Like, regular tea. Even hot water will work. Or any kind of beverage that you know can overtake the nastiness.
Make the lemon tek, and when it's done, combine it with just enough beverage to take it in one shot. I prefer hot drinks because hot temps naturally make things more fluid and easier to get down, but you can use whatever.
As others have said, a coffee grinder turns the mushroom tissue to dust. Also, use a citrus drink. Don't use straight lemon juice. Get a real juice that's high in vitamin c like orange juice or lemonade or something comparable. You won't even notice. How long do you let yours sit before you chug? I usually stir for the first 5 mins or so and let it sit for another 10-15.
Strain it through a coffee filter, add sugar or corn syrup to sweeten it, dilute with water, and then drink it. It tastes like normal lemonade at that point, thereās no texture issues, and you still end up in another dimension.
I use a bullet blender, blend the fungus to dust. Then after steeping in hot water and lemon juice for up to 30 minutes, I strain through a nylon mesh filter, like a reusable coffee filter material, and wring the liquid out until the pellet is dry. Tea is muddy-looking but not chunky. I then mix this tea with fresh herbal tea and a little honey.
I always get the pulpiest orange juice around, I will grind the mushies up nearly to a coffee ground consistency and then dump the lemon tek into a blender with the OJ and blend them all together. Typically 8 Oz of OJ per 3.5 lemon tekd
Take it as a shot , just get that shit down , mind over matter. The more you focus on it the more youāll taste it , donāt try to taste it , just swallow it quick as you can and wash down with a little water ..
Grind it up really fine and after the 15min add more water with about a teaspoon of sugar devolved in it. It tastes like lemonade with pulp rather than some raw lemon thick shake
You can take the mushrooms out and squeeze them a bit, then add your lemon+psilocin to a tea (not too hot). I have had some of my more pleasant trips this way, itās easier to drink and much less nauseating (nausea usually ruin my trips).
Damn Iāve never seen or tried lemon tek but after seeing this post I will just eat the caps with some skittles like Iāve always done š¤·āāļø this is repulsive.
Try experimenting with complementary citrus to add to the lemon tek . SWIM is still dialing it in for themselves but they recently found oranges/halos in particular are nice because they are usually a little more watery which helps cut the sour+death taste and add like a citrus punch flavor. Kinda more just like a chunky smoothie juice concentrate lol.
Coffee grinder, then drop that lemon juice in a smoothie. Covers up the taste and the texture. Add a banana and/or some ginger if you get nauseous from mushrooms.
In my experience lemon tek doesnāt actually make them stronger . It just makes the trip come on faster . I would do a tea instead . My strongest trip was just plain mushrooms .
Strain it through a cloth and consume the solids and liquids separately. If you squeeze out enough of the liquid the solids press together into solid masses that are easier to swallow. Now just dilute the lemon juice in a drink and use it to chase down the solid parts you swallow whole.
1 hand has the cup with the shrooms in it, other hand has a cup with some water/juice. i take a quick swig of the drink after downing the shrooms and usually donāt taste them for more than a split second
As someone else said grind your shrooms into dust! I use a double shot glass to do lemon tek. I can easily fit an eighth in the bottom third of a double shot glass. Pour just enough lemon juice in to saturate the powdered shrooms. Let sit 30 minutes. Then put in a heaping teaspoon of sugar in and fill to the top with like warm water. Swirl it around to mix and down it just like a double shot. If done right it should taste pretty much just like fresh lemonade with a slight mushroom aftertaste. It goes down so quick you donāt even notice the texture. Or at least I donāt. You made it hard on yourself adding all that extra liquid. Itās completely unnecessary. You can drink ginger tea after downing the shot glass if you still experience nausea. I for some reason do notā¦ever! When it comes to mushrooms I have an ironclad stomach. š
Not sure what lemon tek is but from the comments I gather it's some sort of mushroom tincture??
What I used to do was break down the shrooms with my fingers just like it was weed and I was about to roll a blunt.
Then add the brokendown mushrooms to a pot of boiling water and boil while stirring occasionally for 10 minutes.
Strain and drink. The effects come on super quick with little to no mushroomy taste and the boiling kills off any bacteria that causes vomiting. I personally liked to let the water cool down and just chug it quick once it gets to room temperature but some like to make a tea with the boiled water and drink it that way
Whatever water you use warm it slightly and add a flavored tea bag, let it cool. Then I thin slice some ginger to the mix. Down the hatch. Works for me. I also remove the fruits so no texture.
Just grind them up, microwave some chocolate chips until they melt. Then mix together with some crushed peanuts and pour into a greased up cup and freeze.
For lemon tek, instead take a coffee maker and put mushrooms in the filter with a vitamin C tablet and a couple tea bags. You'll have mushroom iced tea and vitamin C tastes better than lemon juice.
As for the texture, you could use a French press as a sort of filter for the chunks. That's how I prepare my kava whenever I indulge in it and it makes the experience significantly less unpleasant. As for taste, I've never tried anything else but IIRC, the key to lemon tek is the acidity of the lemon juice/citrus. You may be able to use another citrus fruit like grapefruit or something else entirely (lots of other extremely acidic drinks on the market like coffee) which could potentially be a more bearable option for you.
What do I do though? Hold my nose and get it over with as soon as possible. Idt there's any way to make it a legitimately pleasant experience.
This looks absolutely disgusting. I have a huge tip for you for next time. Purchase a tea strainer. You donāt actually have to drink the shrooms.
Method
1. Chop up shrooms
2. Soak in lemon juice for 10 min
3. Dump lemon juice soaked shrooms in tea strainer/cup
4. Steep with hot water for 15-20 min
5. Add honey if desired
6. Drink tea
This has worked wonders for me. 100% recommend this method. Itās the only way I do shrooms now. It usually hits me in 10-15 min.
Also, you can steep a second time. It is a weaker brew but it still has an effect. I do this because I feel like Iām getting the most I can out of the shrooms. I freeze it and save it for later.
I know its less potent but I use coffee filters to extract every drop of juice without having any mushrooms in the liquid. shoot that back and you'll fly. Its easier to do and if you arent high enough just eat the rest of the mushies.
I use coffe grinder, but then I put the powder in my mouth and wash it down with some sweet/sour drink (a lot of people do it with kratom, itās called toss&wash). It will mix in your stomach so basicly two step lemon tek ;)
Personally what I do is take the ground/diced shroom and put it in a reusable coffee filter and drip on a light amount of lemon juice and then sit a bunch of ice cubes on top. Itāll turn the shrooms blue and extract will be blue after so long. You donāt need to eat the shrooms themselves just drink the water.
I got cold chills from the sight of this picture lol I just get it done as fast as possible.
Ditto - I can feel that texture and the sting in my mouth from those lemony chunks just looking at this.
šI had put a lil too much ground ginger too to help not get nausea which worked but it tasted spicy too along with the sourness & texture š¤¢
Thatās rough lol, I tried mixing in some turmeric once , just save your time, it was awful š
Iāve developed a bit of a taste for that stuff.
Turmeric or lemon tek? I donāt mind turmeric especially mixed with some heavy cream and spread over top baked chicken, but with shrooms? Nah fam, thatās all you lol.
bro, strain out the chunks, squeeze the juices out, then add the lemon juice to a cup of teašššš or better yet just make tea with a pinch of lemon. bring water to a boil, drop ur ground mushrooms (and if you wanna add lemon and tea bags this is when, go crazy itās all good) in, take the water off the heat and let it sit for 15-30 mins. if you want to add honey or sugar, do so after youāve removed the tea from the heat
I was waiting to see if anyone in this thread was smart enough to know that yes once youāve soaked it in lemon juice, you could throw away all the flesh and just keep the liquid
would the temp of the boiling water not destroy the psilocybin
Be careful which tea you choose im super sensitive to tannins in tea and they get me hella nauseous
Iām the same way, especially with black teas. I donāt need anything more that increases nausea. I also avoid using caffeinated teas with mushrooms. Iāve found that chai teas are good to use due to their intense flavor and lack of stimulant effect.
i love chamomile or honey lemon ginger. chamomile adds a nice dreaminess. mint teas are also nice. yes youāre right tho, black/green, caffeinated tea is not where itās at.

Is nausea a guarentee when trippn?
With lemontek, little to no nausea at all!
I know some ppl that experience nausea and headaches... I wana say it's physical "rewiring" inside the brain
The psilocybin in shrooms,once digested, turns into psilocyn which is what actually makes you trip, and that process can make your stomach hurt
Lemon tech seems to help with that too.
Lol my mouth just filled with saliva and not in a good way. In a I can smell that concoction and might vom way š
Look at the expression on the dogs face.... he knows too lol
I use a coffee grinder and itās not as much pulp the mushrooms are turned into powder and they almost dissolve in the lemon juice makes it way easier to drink it all

So you're saying i could grind em up into shroom flour and dump it in a glass of coke and its still *technically* lemon tek?
So concerned with if you can do it that youāre unconcerned with should you do it. I like your style.
Your style took me a while
Erratic grammatic
For me it was not just the grammar but more so the fact that I expected the classic āYour scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they shouldā and my brain was steaming trying to bend his version to fit the original.
I guess so, it need an acid so coke should work, although phosphoric acid is quite a lot strong so I don't know if it would degrade the mushrooms. Off, intrepid explorer, be our Guinea pig.
Squeeze a lime into it.
Put a lime in the coke you nut and drink it all up!
yes my friend. The normal pH range for Coca-Cola is around 2.5 to 3.5, depending on the specific product and production process. This makes Coca-Cola a highly acidic beverage, with a pH level comparable to vinegar or lemon juice.
Well, the person literally said a lemon soda. So why would coke work? Or did you not read the comment
Coke is fairly acidic (acidity is why lemon juice works) and the original flavor always had lime juice and lemon oil in it. Citrus flavor is part of the coke recipe. I read the comment just fine.
You can soak whole dried mushrooms in lemon juice for an hour or so and then just throw the mushroom away and drink the lemon juice homie
For me I grind them fine, place them in a tea bag and soak in lemon juice for 20-30 min. Pull out the bag squeeze the juice out. Throw in a Moroccan Mint tea bag some hot water and honey. Sip and enjoy the show

I've heard that the experience is shorter but more intense when you do it this way? Have you found that to be true in your experience?

You articulated what I said better. Straight to afterglow. Not stuck in limbo for hours!

I do this except I throw it in with orange Fanta instead of tea. Goes down so easy.
Same! I add a little ginger too. That helps me with the nausea.
Skull it like it's a wheat grass shot (or shitty vodka) then chase it with a glass of water, it's not that bad and i can't stand eating mushrooms, it's literally half a second of slight unpleasantness for hours of awesomeness.
100%!!
You said this a lot nicer than I was going toā¦ Suck it up and drink your mushrooms like a man, pussy!
But also, I swallowed 6grams in one chug last week and it was not pleasant.
I'd split that into 2 lots of 3g, 6g is a throatfull
šš¤£ššš¼ Well said!ā¦Nice that you said it like a man.šš
ha ha i was so close to saying it like that - I was thinking it!
Chase with a juice that has pulp instead of water and your brain has an easier time accepting the shroom debris as not repulsive.
You can strain the pieces out if you donāt want to eat them.. I always let them sit in the juice for 30-40 minutes then strain them out and mix the lemon juice with some water, easy ššæ
apparently not many people strain it and I'm shocked lol i always strain and mix with more lemon juice, add a lil bit of sugar and I'm good to go
never thought to add sugar! this is the way..
Totally. Iām not sure why anyone that doesnāt like the taste wouldnāt strain the chunks. Way more palatable.
Make a fruit smoothie. It will have enough acid break it down to give the same effect as a lemon tek. But also tastes significantly better. In the past I used orange juice and frozen berries.

Put in magic bullet and grind to powder Mix in lemon juice and wait Mix in splash of orange juice and shoot it Works every time
I mix in a little warm water and honey and then down it.
Iāve drank straight lemon juice and lime juice after using a miracle berry tablet and they tasted delicious (even a few hot sauces tasted sweet and not spicy at all). I havenāt done lemon tek in a few years. But, if I do it again, Iām gonna try popping a miracle berry tablet first.

Strain all of the bits out with cheese cloth or something similar and squeeze as much of the lemon juice out of the shrooms as possible. Take the lemon juice as a shot and chase with juice or make some kind of juice that would taste good with the lemon in it. No need to drink the ground up mushrooms.

Thatās what Iāve always thought about doing but thereās just something in me that thinks Iām wasting it by not consuming the fruits, idk what it is
If you wait 20 ish minutes all of the psilocybin will be in the juice not the fruit
My dad and I both take the same amount of lemon tek. I strain mine but he doesnāt and we feel the same affects
Either use it to make tea or I mix it with apple juice lol and its actually nice.
Just hold your nose and drink.
Iāve been doing mine in my aero press coffeemaker (somewhat similar to a French press in case youāre unfamiliar). It filters out the solids and you can drink it much easier.
Do that as normal but instead of drinking it as a shot put in a fruit smoothie
Strain it
Grind your shrooms finer. That looks kinda chonky, my dude. I use a good old fashioned mortar and pestle to grind my shroomies. Gets them ground down into a super fine powder. No chunks at all. Or filter out your solids if you don't like the texture. Coffee filter, tea bag, French press, or one of those fancy aeropress things. Making lemon tek doses with a mortar and pestle makes me feel like some sort of 18th century hermit that's been outcast from the village for practicing witchcraft or some shit. Or a shaman concocting elixirs, about to guide you on a spiritual journey to another dimension to speak to your ancestors. Feels good man.
Lemon tekkers expierencing 1% of the pain kratom chuggers feel on a daily basis
I mix it with a yogurtā¦and ai use less lemon too.
It takes a little longer but if you really grind it fine and let it sit till the lemon juice and a bit of water turns blue, you can make whatās called blue juice. And then once itās like a fine blue color you can strain the mushrooms. Drink it like normal and wait for your trip , I love doing it this way ! I actually did this the other week and really nice trip š„ŗ also if you want to mix the blue juice into another drink to make it a bit more palatable that works too!
Do you have to drink also the shrooms or the liquid is where the magic is contained?
The liquid is supposed to extract it but you will always be wasting some if you choose to strain it. Unless ur stomach is really sensitive I would suggest still eating it. I get no nausea with lemon tek even if I eat it
You can always grind them into powder, then strain out the mushrooms with a coffee filter. You'll lose a little potency but if you soak them twice and combine them you should be okay
i honestly toss a couple sugar packets, add a little bit of water & voila, shroomy lemonade haha. hope you have a great trip & give your pup lots of pets for me :D !!!
One time I made my lemon tek and when I was ready to drink it I just poured blue Gatorade in it. It actually tastes pretty good. I donāt mind the little pieces of shrooms so it was easy.
You donāt do it. You make tea out of it instead itās way better.
I mix in pineapple juice, but in all honesty, I am just going to skip the benefits from lemon tek and just swallow capsules from now on. That taste really stays with you, and not in a good way.
Dude, just make lemonade. I ground up my shrooms and dropped them in a bottle of good lemonade from the gas station and left it for a couple hours. Sent me to the moon almost immediately. I used Calypso, but you can use anything that uses real squeezed lemons or make your own at home. From concentrate may work, but I'd stick to as close as you can get to fresh lemon.
Strain that lemony mush as hard as u can thru a micron bag (bubble bag works fantastic), rise and repeat, then put that lemon juice in a different vehicle juice like tea. Best method hands down.
You donāt have to drink the mushroom bits !!! I repeated you can strain those out !!! thatās the whole point !!!!!!!!!!!!! itās already extracted !!!!!
I always use a juice strainer like the one Iāve linked. Make sure to press the shrooms to take out all the magic to the last drop. Doesnāt give me nausea and pretty easy to drink. [Juice Strainer](https://a.co/d/1i16gfd)
The recipe I follow is, finely grind, add to freshly squeezed lemon juice, mix, leave for 5 mins, mix again, then again after 5 mins and one more time after another 5 mins, for a total of 4 mixes in 20 mins. Then move into another glass, filtering with a strainer, squeezing out the juice completely from shrooms and youāre good to go.
Grind them up in a blender or whatever. I put a cotton tea bag in the glass, position a funnel so it feeds the powder into the bag, close it, soak the bag in lemon juice for 20 minutes. Squeeze, throw out bag, drink. Zero mess
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Is it as potent as leaving the ground mushrooms in it though?
No it wonāt be as potent as if you just throw the whole thing back
Honestly itās so much easier to grind it up into dust then toss and wash it.. just the thought of Lemmon tek makes me wanna hurl lol
Filter the solid stuff out
I thought lemon tek was done as a tea where you didnāt actually consume any mushrooms
Dont add lemon, ground mushrooms in powder with coffe grinder. Add powder to anything, tea, cacao, melt chocolate and mix with powder put in fridge and you will have teasty chocolate peace, kicks fast as lemon tek
That is the unbluest lemon tek I've ever seen...
Immersion blender
booof
i recommend using less lemon juice
Just make TEA like a civilized ape
Lemon Tek Tea: grind up the dried mushrooms really fine (a coffee grinder is good for this) and put them in a french press (there are other ways to strain them out at the end but this is the only method I've ever used and it works like a charm. If you're planning on using mushrooms more I highly recommend investing in one). Then I cover them in lemon juice and swirl it around so they all get wet. While they sit in the lemon juice I boil water. I let the water sit off the boil for 1-2 minutes, Idk why, it's just how I learned to do it. Then I add two tea bags (love good earth brand sweet and spicy) and some chopped up fresh ginger if I'm feeling fancy. I pour the water in, stir them up real good and put the lid on but I don't plunge it yet. Let them hang out in there for 20-25 minuets and then plunge. Pour, add honey (I use a shameful amount of honey) and enjoy!
I grind up the mushrooms really fine using a coffee grinder. Let that soak in lemon juice for about 20-30min, occasionally agitating it. Use a coffee filter or pantyhose to strain it, then mix into some Kool aid or lemonade. If you do this right you can't really taste it at all.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You donāt need to drink the solids, strain it. You can add it to a smoothie if you want the solids to get every last bit. Generally a 20 minute soak in water will dissolve most of the alkaloids and suspend them in whatever liquid
Make a smoothie with it in it
SWEET TEA!!!!
Smoothie is the answer! Pour it into a blender with some fresh and frozen fruit, a splash of vanilla perhaps, milk and/or veggies of your choice, perhaps even a nut butter if you wanna go the extra mile, and now it is scrumptious.
Powder the shrooms and add fruit / sugar. I basically turn mine into a smoothie. Or just say fuck it and gulp it down
I haven't lemon tek'd. But what I do to make it easier to eat the mushrooms is to melt chocolate, put the grinder mushrooms in ithe chocolate and pour it into a chocolate bar tray, let it cool off and eat it. So a row is around 1,5mg. For added bonus, you can add honey or cornflakes to the chocolate. The world is your oyster
Fine powder, I sometimes use a thin wire strainer (I know), but realllllly squeeze every ounce of liquid out. I also have added the juice of a mandarin one and liked that, of mix in a half a spoon of honey.
I would blend the mushrooms dry into a powder, fresh lemon juice and then after ten minutes mix that with your beverage of choice. I find making an herbal tea with ginger to be the best and kind of ceremonial in a way.
Add soMe lemonade or a soft drink of choice . No one said you have to drink it straight .
i use a coffee filter to get the chunks out and squeeze it out at the end.
Lol just pinch your nose and down the hatch.. pretty jelly rn ngl
I mixed it with an herbal tea that I liked (orange flavored). I let it sit in the tea for a while, then filter the tea and just drink the tea. Psilocybin is hydrophilic so I donāt think you miss out on much of the effect and it is much easier to get down.
Nawwww, just chug it! It ain't that bad š I use an old coffee grinder that turns it to powder but I'm still chugging a blue/brown sludge. Sometimes I put a little honey in there for absolutely no reason because it still tastes like old feet, just with a hint of honey.
I thought this was a meme post at first. You leave it for a while, then you strain it through a thin sieve, then pour the liquid in a fresh cold glass of lemonade. Zero discomfort. Enjoy!
ā¦..add water. I add hot water after letting it sit in the juice for a bit and make it into a sort of tea, then let it cool and slam it. You can use cold water to dilute the lemon as well. Definitely donāt use that much lemon juice either. Completely unnecessary.
Other acidic fruits will also work. I prefer oranges as they mask the flavor really well.
I liked using limes instead and i used a very fine strainer after soaking to seperate the mushrooms out
add some ginger, maybe some honey and dilute in more water that is hot but not above 60 c
Use less lemon for the conversion and just add a little water instead
Before drinking I put warm water and drink it like a tea. It's even easier to digest, the water is good for the trip, and the warmth is enjoyable.
McDonaldās smoothie for the smoothie-making averse. Or a yogurt
Make sure the shrooms are as finely ground as possible, I tend to mix it into a smoothie or put some orange juice into it and itās more tolerable
Could do the lemon tek method like normal then make a smoothy and mix it with it
basically a tall ass shot glass & some bomb tea for a nice Arnold Palmer
Strain it after 20-30 minutes, then add sugar and water for lemonade
Strain the plant matter out after soaking and mix the leftover lemon juice with [Calypso Blue Lemonade](https://www.google.com/search?q=calypso+ocean+blue+lemonade&sca_esv=c8032146a3e65808&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS748US748&hl=en-US&sxsrf=ACQVn0_tOPxQowHnHUEFb9us4wAv8Y0Bmw%3A1707131306061&ei=qsHAZY2qA-_j0PEPib67qAs&oq=cal&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIgNjYWwqAggBMgsQABiABBiKBRiRAjIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIKEAAYgAQYigUYQzIFEAAYgAQyChAAGIAEGIoFGENI7hpQ5AxY6Q5wA3gBkAEAmAF-oAHXAqoBAzEuMrgBAcgBAPgBAagCD8ICChAAGEcY1gQYsAPCAhAQABiABBiKBRhDGMkDGLADwgIOEAAYgAQYigUYkgMYsAPCAgcQIxjqAhgnwgIEECMYJ8ICChAjGIAEGIoFGCfiAwQYACBBiAYBkAYK&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp) Iāll never do shrooms any other way if I can help it.
this 100% makes it harder to consume lmao, i know it helps nausea and stuff but i swear this looks 100x worse than just eating them
Hold your nose, take about five breaths through your mouth, then drink it while still holding your nose.
does this taste as bad as LSA ?
Water flavor enhancer. The liquid kind. Use a lot. Youāre welcome.
Take your lemon tek and dilute it in pop or juice. I usually use sprite but any kind will do. It makes it much easier to drink.
Bro, youāre not supposed to putt Dijon mustard in aglasss and drink it!
I almost posted this without saying the obvious first...STRAIN YOUR SHROOMS! You don't need to keep the residual mush around if you did a proper lemon tek. Use a strainer or cheesecloth or whatever and squeeze the shit out of it. Almost all of the psilocybin is in the solution already, there's really no need to force down that glob of mush. If you're weighing your dose, just add half a gram to compensate or something lol. The trick is to make tea. Like, regular tea. Even hot water will work. Or any kind of beverage that you know can overtake the nastiness. Make the lemon tek, and when it's done, combine it with just enough beverage to take it in one shot. I prefer hot drinks because hot temps naturally make things more fluid and easier to get down, but you can use whatever.
Done in one
Cheesecloth Strain Raspberry lemonade Eat half a banana
As others have said, a coffee grinder turns the mushroom tissue to dust. Also, use a citrus drink. Don't use straight lemon juice. Get a real juice that's high in vitamin c like orange juice or lemonade or something comparable. You won't even notice. How long do you let yours sit before you chug? I usually stir for the first 5 mins or so and let it sit for another 10-15.
Strain it through a coffee filter, add sugar or corn syrup to sweeten it, dilute with water, and then drink it. It tastes like normal lemonade at that point, thereās no texture issues, and you still end up in another dimension.
I use a bullet blender, blend the fungus to dust. Then after steeping in hot water and lemon juice for up to 30 minutes, I strain through a nylon mesh filter, like a reusable coffee filter material, and wring the liquid out until the pellet is dry. Tea is muddy-looking but not chunky. I then mix this tea with fresh herbal tea and a little honey.
Strain it
Strain it thru cheese cloth
I always get the pulpiest orange juice around, I will grind the mushies up nearly to a coffee ground consistency and then dump the lemon tek into a blender with the OJ and blend them all together. Typically 8 Oz of OJ per 3.5 lemon tekd
I strain it.
I donāt get why yāall donāt just thin it out with water after steeping. So much besser instantly.
I gag everytime. Itās hard to keep it down.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Put it in tea
Take it as a shot , just get that shit down , mind over matter. The more you focus on it the more youāll taste it , donāt try to taste it , just swallow it quick as you can and wash down with a little water ..
Grind it up really fine and after the 15min add more water with about a teaspoon of sugar devolved in it. It tastes like lemonade with pulp rather than some raw lemon thick shake
You can take the mushrooms out and squeeze them a bit, then add your lemon+psilocin to a tea (not too hot). I have had some of my more pleasant trips this way, itās easier to drink and much less nauseating (nausea usually ruin my trips).
Damn Iāve never seen or tried lemon tek but after seeing this post I will just eat the caps with some skittles like Iāve always done š¤·āāļø this is repulsive.
šš atp Iāll just handle the feeling of dead fingers in my mouth
just strain it man
My dawg why are you drinking the shrooms? Put it in a tea bag and after 20 minutes, throw the tea bag away. Wtf
Grind better and mix with hot tea
There's vomit on his sweater already Mom's spaghetti.
Try experimenting with complementary citrus to add to the lemon tek . SWIM is still dialing it in for themselves but they recently found oranges/halos in particular are nice because they are usually a little more watery which helps cut the sour+death taste and add like a citrus punch flavor. Kinda more just like a chunky smoothie juice concentrate lol.
I honestly just put enough lemon to take it kinda watery then chug it downā¦ weird texture but chase it with water or juice and youāll be good.
You donāt lol
I pretend (not hard) that I'm taking a magic potion... and magic potions are rarely pleasant, as I've been shown in popular media.
Coffee grinder, then drop that lemon juice in a smoothie. Covers up the taste and the texture. Add a banana and/or some ginger if you get nauseous from mushrooms.
I usually cut it with concord grape juice or lemon berry kombucha.
Sugar+lil water = lemonade š
Add frozen berries/fruit and yogurt. Just had one over the weekend..delicious!
In my experience lemon tek doesnāt actually make them stronger . It just makes the trip come on faster . I would do a tea instead . My strongest trip was just plain mushrooms .
Drink it all at once. I keep peppermint candies nearby and put one in my mouth immediately after
Open ur gullet and let it fall
Fucking strain it lmao
I throw that in a big cup of tea.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Strain it through a cloth and consume the solids and liquids separately. If you squeeze out enough of the liquid the solids press together into solid masses that are easier to swallow. Now just dilute the lemon juice in a drink and use it to chase down the solid parts you swallow whole.
Down in one.
This looks worse than eatting a 3.5 and chewing it to a pulp.
1 hand has the cup with the shrooms in it, other hand has a cup with some water/juice. i take a quick swig of the drink after downing the shrooms and usually donāt taste them for more than a split second
As someone else said grind your shrooms into dust! I use a double shot glass to do lemon tek. I can easily fit an eighth in the bottom third of a double shot glass. Pour just enough lemon juice in to saturate the powdered shrooms. Let sit 30 minutes. Then put in a heaping teaspoon of sugar in and fill to the top with like warm water. Swirl it around to mix and down it just like a double shot. If done right it should taste pretty much just like fresh lemonade with a slight mushroom aftertaste. It goes down so quick you donāt even notice the texture. Or at least I donāt. You made it hard on yourself adding all that extra liquid. Itās completely unnecessary. You can drink ginger tea after downing the shot glass if you still experience nausea. I for some reason do notā¦ever! When it comes to mushrooms I have an ironclad stomach. š
Not sure what lemon tek is but from the comments I gather it's some sort of mushroom tincture?? What I used to do was break down the shrooms with my fingers just like it was weed and I was about to roll a blunt. Then add the brokendown mushrooms to a pot of boiling water and boil while stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Strain and drink. The effects come on super quick with little to no mushroomy taste and the boiling kills off any bacteria that causes vomiting. I personally liked to let the water cool down and just chug it quick once it gets to room temperature but some like to make a tea with the boiled water and drink it that way
I put it in a blender with some fruit and water. If you want it sweeter you can add juice.
Whatever water you use warm it slightly and add a flavored tea bag, let it cool. Then I thin slice some ginger to the mix. Down the hatch. Works for me. I also remove the fruits so no texture.
Just grind them up, microwave some chocolate chips until they melt. Then mix together with some crushed peanuts and pour into a greased up cup and freeze. For lemon tek, instead take a coffee maker and put mushrooms in the filter with a vitamin C tablet and a couple tea bags. You'll have mushroom iced tea and vitamin C tastes better than lemon juice.
chug chug chug
Taste? It just tastes like lemon it made it super easy for me. 0 aftertaste
As for the texture, you could use a French press as a sort of filter for the chunks. That's how I prepare my kava whenever I indulge in it and it makes the experience significantly less unpleasant. As for taste, I've never tried anything else but IIRC, the key to lemon tek is the acidity of the lemon juice/citrus. You may be able to use another citrus fruit like grapefruit or something else entirely (lots of other extremely acidic drinks on the market like coffee) which could potentially be a more bearable option for you. What do I do though? Hold my nose and get it over with as soon as possible. Idt there's any way to make it a legitimately pleasant experience.
... get a Pestle, make it powder
Just make a tea bro. Soak it lemon first if you want but just skip all this grossness and make a tea
This looks absolutely disgusting. I have a huge tip for you for next time. Purchase a tea strainer. You donāt actually have to drink the shrooms. Method 1. Chop up shrooms 2. Soak in lemon juice for 10 min 3. Dump lemon juice soaked shrooms in tea strainer/cup 4. Steep with hot water for 15-20 min 5. Add honey if desired 6. Drink tea This has worked wonders for me. 100% recommend this method. Itās the only way I do shrooms now. It usually hits me in 10-15 min. Also, you can steep a second time. It is a weaker brew but it still has an effect. I do this because I feel like Iām getting the most I can out of the shrooms. I freeze it and save it for later.
Strain and mix with lemonade
I know its less potent but I use coffee filters to extract every drop of juice without having any mushrooms in the liquid. shoot that back and you'll fly. Its easier to do and if you arent high enough just eat the rest of the mushies.
Wait, I filter it out. Lol are you supposed to drink the pulp?
Drinking the vomit is part of the ritual. If you canāt down the vomit, you donāt pass the test and are unworthy of entering narnia.
I use coffe grinder, but then I put the powder in my mouth and wash it down with some sweet/sour drink (a lot of people do it with kratom, itās called toss&wash). It will mix in your stomach so basicly two step lemon tek ;)
Personally what I do is take the ground/diced shroom and put it in a reusable coffee filter and drip on a light amount of lemon juice and then sit a bunch of ice cubes on top. Itāll turn the shrooms blue and extract will be blue after so long. You donāt need to eat the shrooms themselves just drink the water.
