I can only tell you what I do, and what I know:
Its NOT necessary to boil OR simmer. Sit your shrooms in the plain warm water and you will see it turn deep blue. The heat just helps to relax the tissues which then release more.
SO: Gently heat your shrooms and water. Make it soup temperature. (Im not saying you should be able to stick your finger in it. I should NOT bubble. Stir it for 10 mins then strain out juices. (keep the juices!!! They are what you want - DO NOT POUR THEM DOWN THE SINK DONT GET STONED AND DO THIS AS WE POURED IT DOWN THE SINK LOL. My friend was used to pouring the juice down the drain and keeping the veggies in the strainer he poured our trip down the sink LMAO.)
Lucky we had enough to go again haha.
Refill water in pan and do the same again (Re-extracting from the same mushrooms), for 20 mins..this time the water should look like toilet water (with bluer in it lol). You are done..strain off the solids and throw them away. (We always put all shroom waste in the same pile..hoping to sprout some but nothing yet over 3 years). The blue or black water (depending how many shrooms you had) is your "kool aid"
.
PS: MEASURE YOUR DOSE. If you need it use this and adjust the numbers after your first try to make it more tuned for you:
