This results in a more compact experience overall which can be nice.  

 

You will need: 

2 x vessels which could be cups, jars a tea set anything. You will need a fine mesh strainer and some lemon or lime-juice. 

A few examples of fantastic additions could be raw honey, your favorite tea, berries, herbs, ginger, or really anything you like. 

 

Step 1: Prepare mushrooms

To Lemon-Tek mushrooms one would first weigh their desired dose on a scale. The mushrooms then need to be broken down with a dry-food processor like a coffee grinder. You can crush them like any other dried plant material, the more pulverized the better the process.

 

Step 2: Soak in citrus

This process can be as basic or as elegant as the day calls for. 

 

Place the pulverized dried mushrooms in a small clear vessel, cover with lemon or lime juice. 

You don’t need much, just enough to cover the mushrooms and allow them rest for 20 minutes or so. Give a quick stir and let the process unfold. 

 

20+ minutes later… 

 

Step 3: Strain dried material 

Separate the liquid from the first into the second vessel through the strainer. Get as much as possible from the material and refine the final solution as much as you like. 

You can discard the remaining pulverized material or add it to a smoothie.

 

Step 4: Prepare your drink 

 Whatever the day calls for perhaps an iced tea, maybe a traditional spiced chai, fresh squeezed juice or an arctic tropical smoothie. There is literally no limit.

Prepare your drink and  add the citrus/ elixir. There is no limit, just follow your imagination! 

 

 

Step 5: Enjoy!

Twist, shake, freeze, heat, torch the top, add some fruit and shredded ice; there is no wrong way! It is very delicious and a traditional way to prepare mushrooms with its own unique flow and cadence. It helps to bond the human with botanical, which is a super cool connection.
