I want to know what happens,and how it works, starting with something simple like tea.
Whats the ideal temperature, what brewing time, which ingredients to use, which to avoid.
Is it possible to prepare a nice tea in advance ? To have a nice trip at a lovely
place far away from home. (Ok could use shrooms, but i dont like the taste)

A tea thread - see how it grows:"My Tea Flopped, help"

I have no special tea procedure with regular tea. Just a tea bag, boiling water and milk. easy ehh
Catchword alkohol:
What kind of alkohol should be used? Which alkohol strength?
Isopropanol and ethyl alkohol are good desinfectants as 70% dilution.
The mode of action with 70% for desinfecting, could also be good for
extracting. You get 30% water almost everywere.
Psilocybin difficulty soluble in ethanol but its soluble in water.
Psilocin is very slightly soluble in water. It make no sense for me to use
high proof alkohol.

But there is no visible reaction with diluted acetic acid. Thats confusing .(ok i am always a little bit confused)
