Read before making shroom tea!

read about Ginzing Tea elsewhere on the forum and decided to give a try.

Brewed the tea per the instructions with very high quality whole Korean Ginseng and Manuka honey. came on quick after ingestion with a similiar speed to alcohol, felt weird as soon as tea hit my stomach, heavy boadyload with a clear mind, floor was melting and was seeing detailed mandelbrot fractals with my eyes closed. All very lucid feeling, ego fully intact while experiencing these hallucinations.

went with 2 grams of shrooms which is less than other times ive taken them and yet with the tea things were powerfully amplified and cleaner overall although didnt really do much for nausea though.

Here's the thing though to be aware of, SAVE THE REMNANTS!

I had a suspicion that by making tea i'd be leaving some psilocybin on the table, so I saved the soggy shrooms in the fridge and after a few days ate the two grams. I had a solid effect that i would compare to .5 of shrooms, a nice little dose after the fact.

So although you are wasting some shrooms technincally the effects are somehow potentiated by the tea and perhaps the ginseng, so in some ways you get the best of both worlds, a stronger trip on less shrooms with some leftover, 2 for the price of one in a sense.

the next experiment im going to run will be tea, but this time presoaked in an acidic solvent like lemon juice or vinegar. We shall see if the remnants will yield any substance in that case.

PS my girlfriend who is a virgin to this stuff had one tiny sip and had MAJOR effects from the tea, so i have to conclude that TEA=LEGIT

Yup, I can definitely attest to your findings, @montecristo. Microdosing also gets potentiated quite a bit by @Nahm's wonderful Ginseng tea recipe (which has mysteriously disappeared from the forum, BTW).

A couple of days ago I did a tea concoction consisting of about 300 mg powered Cubensis shrooms including the remnants, American ginseng powder, honey and a bag of Earl Gray. Very yummy taste.

I have microdosed mushrooms several times before, but this felt remarkably more relaxing and it was really able to quiet my monkey mind. A really good day...

Oh, BTW, a warning... To avoid the risk of serotonin syndrome which can potentially be deadly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_syndrome), don't ever take larger doses of ginseng and mushrooms together.
