Magical Mushroom Tea

How long with some tea last in the refrigerator w/ the same potency and freshness? Or maybe in the freezer?

i wouldnt store it too long. If you plan to store it for more than a couple days freeze it.

i dont have any definitive answer though.
Your best storing them as dried mushrooms.

I see. But freezing it, it should last like 2 months right? I know keeping them dried is better but I'm just curious if it'll be alright.

Just to try,

seven ounces of magical fungus was boiled in forty ounces of purified water. What do you recommend the dose be?

Tea is a piss poor way of storing your shrooms. Get them dried. Its the only way to stop the rot!

editor, hard boiling of mushroom matter is discouraged due to degradation. but half that brew might have 3g of mushroom in it.

tea is just like any extraction, and benefits from multiple washes with fresh solvent. so first of all, don't brew it until you are ready to consume it because dried mushroom is the best for storage.

boil some distilled water on the stove, crush your dried mush in a mug, and pour the hot water over them. add lemon and honey to taste, and drink (carefully) after 3-5 minutes. do not ingest the mush at the bottom. add another volume of hot water to the mush and repeat. the first cup will have about 50-70% of all the goodies, the second cup about 20-30%, and the third cup will get that last 5% or so. if you follow this extraction regime, there is no need to ingest the mush, just throw it in the compost bin.

Awesome. Some marvelous tea was made. I can tell a difference in smell from the fresh tea compared to the stored tea but the potency seems to be the same.
