Lemon Tek – How to make Shroom tea

Mixing in some acidic citrus juice to your psilocybin mushrooms certainly does give something extra to your shroom tea. You may have experienced this effect. Perhaps you've heard of how to make magic shroom tea using the Lemon Tek and are preparing. Read on to discover what Lemon Tek is and how to make shroom tea using lemon tek.

You Lemon Tek by soaking psilocybin mushrooms in lemon juice before eating them. The acid in the lemon juice starts to break down the fabric of the mushroom. It is still uncertain as to how the lemon acid reacts with the chemicals in the mushroom. However, veteran 'psilonauts' are adamant that it provides a shorter, more intense trip than chewing the dry fungi.

Lemon Tek might not be for you if you're new to magic mushrooms. However, for the experienced journeyer, there are quite a few benefits to enjoy:

• Extend the use of a small amount of shrooms.
• Reduce nausea and body load.
• Shorten and intensify the trip.
• Convenience for microdosing

How Does Lemon Tek tea work?

The groundswell of opinion about how Lemon Tek works is that the lemon acid mimics your stomach acids. The lemon starts to break down the mushroom before you consume it. Your stomach's pH level is around 1.5-3.5, and a lemon's pH level of 2 to 2.6 comfortably sits within this range.

There is another theory about how Lemon Tekking works within the lemontek Some consumers believe that lemon juice helps convert psilocybin into psilocin, the compound responsible for mushrooms' entheogenic effects.

What is known is that psilocybin dephosphorylation increases when subjected to acidic conditions. There is also considerable anecdotal evidence reporting a quicker trip onset when Lemon Tek is used. The theory is a reasonable assumption.

A lack of proven research behind the psilocybin-into-psilocin hypothesis does not mean that shroom tea made using the Lemon Tek has no effect, it simply means that the effects have not been studied by 'modern' medical science. The founder of MycoRising, a leading mushroom education resource, Seth Warner, believes that adding lemon juice to mushrooms produces psilocybin extract, a view also held by Caine Barlow.

In the Barlow-Warner theory, the act of Lemon Tek makes psilocybin and psilocin more abundant, meaning that when they arrive in the stomach, the effect takes hold much more quickly than without tek. The acid in the lemon juice starts to break down the mushrooms, ready to digest almost immediately.

The majority of psilocybin and psilocin gets stored in a mushroom's cell walls. Mushroom cell walls are composed of chitin, which is harder to digest than cellulose, the building blocks of most plants' cell walls. In the Lemon Tek process, the lemons' acid starts to break down the chitin before the body's digestive system acts on the mushrooms.

Warner points out that the human body doesn't possess all the enzymes needed to digest raw mushrooms. This lack is one of the reasons why mushrooms are always cooked before being eaten. Chitinase, the enzyme that breaks down chitin, is absent in many people. So, Lemon Tek provides a means for everyone to enjoy mushrooms.

The vitamin C in lemons may also be playing a positive role. Its antioxidant qualities protect the psilocin from oxidizing and prevent the mushroom from losing any psychedelic compounds during digestion.
