How to Make Magic Mushroom Concentrate | Step-by-Step Guide
Author: Emily Kyle | EmilyKyleNutrition.com
Learn to make a mushroom tincture or mushroom concentrate at home with these simple, step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
- 3.5 grams dried mushrooms, (or your desired amount)
- 4 ounces high-proof grain alcohol, (you only need enough to cover the mushrooms completely)
Instructions
- If you haven't already, weigh your mushrooms in grams so you have an idea of a starting dose. Grind your dried mushrooms into a fine powder using a coffee grinder.
- Place the mushroom powder in a mason jar. Add just enough alcohol to completely cover the powder. Seal the jar and shake it gently.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 12 hours, shaking it gently as often as you wish.
- After the 12 hour soak time, strain the tincture through a coffee filter into a clean jar, separating the liquid from the mushroom material.
- To evaporate the alcohol, pour the strained tincture into your Source Turbo and follow the instructions.
- The alcohol will evaporate, leaving behind a small amount of thick, sticky oil. This is your concentrate.
- If the concentrate is too thick, add a few drops of alcohol or a carrier oil (like MCT oil) to thin it.
- Store your concentrate in a glass syringe or another airtight glass container in a cool, dark place. Dose appropriately, as this concentrate can be very potent.
Notes
Amounts: You can use as much or as little mushroom material as you want. The yield will be small and depend on your starting amount. You only need enough alcohol to cover the mushroom powder.
Alcohol: Only use high-proof, food-grade grain alcohol. The higher the proof, the better.
Soak Times: Soaking longer can slightly increase potency but will also extract more of the mushroom's natural flavor.
Evaporation: The Source Turbo is the safest and most efficient method. If using other methods, prioritize safety and ventilation.
