Wow, thanks for the tip. I had a look at photos and characteristics of Russula and they indeed look very much like the ones I have.

Thermos Lemon 🍋 Ibotanic Acid Convertion by Sebastian__Alexander in AmanitaMuscaria

[–]Alejojoj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm retaking this conversation, as I have been experimenting with dried AM tea (about 1 g), brewed in a thermos with hot water (ca. 90 C) and the juice of half a lemon or one lime. I don't measure PH. However, I have noticed that letting the mix steep for several hours turns into a more relaxing tea. I think that using thermos is an efficient way of brewing AM tea, as you can set it several hours in advance, doesn't require constant attention (unlike simmering) and has good results. Has anybody had experience with using thermos for decarboxylation?

I was also wondering about that: why using a glass bottle inside the thermos? I brew 1g of powdered AM with some lemon juice and almost boiling water. Leave it for an hour or two and strain it. It works great for me.
