Does using lemons while boiling for tea help to convert to muscimol?

This is how I make my tea, so I hope it does. I find boiling it with 1-2 lemons gives it a much better flavour and is more palatable.

FYI. After I've made the tea, I keep it refrigerated in a sterile container and microdoes it throughout the week. So far all the amanitas I've bought online have been very weak (I think), so a microdose for me is often a teaspoon or two. I've never taken enough to really feel like I'm on mushrooms, they just really seem to help with my focus, and my anxiety. They have also given me plenty of vivid dreams, no lucid dreams yet, perhaps the dose would need to be much bigger?

All in all it's been very positive, but I'm only a month or so into this lovely journey.

Does anyone else have experience with using it like this?

Yes

I've been making tea but with powder in teabags. I found this to be more efficient than storing it in the refrigerator. Just make individual tea for each microdose by putting powder in a teabag. I found a microdose is about 1 gram of powder in each teabag. Simmered with lemons for about 40 minutes seems to work well.

@Chernp What kind of teabags? like a reusable one?

What kind of does do you find 1g of powder is? that's still in the low micro-dose range, right? How much would you take for a noticeable dose?
(obviously taking into account every amanita is different).

Hi

Yes I find 1 gram of blended powder a microdose for me. Full dose would be about 4-5 x that so around 5 grams.

I use one time use teabags I got off Amazon. It's about $12 for 300 teabags
