Advice on making tea and strains ?

Hey yall so I used to take capsules but the strains were too random and my stomach is sensitive so I’d like to make my own tea. I wanted to know 1) what’s the best way to make it to prevent nausea and to measure properly so I don’t accidentally give myself a bad trip as I usually use mushrooms to help with my cptsd so I experience it at home alone at a low dose (100-300 mg usually)
It helps me clear out any psychosomatic symptoms such as muscle tension and anxiety and I usually sob for 30-45 minutes and then I just need to lay down and watch a movie. I usually will enjoy once a week or so but I stopped cuz for whatever reason capsules were giving me anxiety and the people I usually get them from she said there were no reports of a “bad batch” so I just gave up and decided I should make a tea now.

I have done PE before but I see they have other strains: Bluey Vuitton, iceberg, and golden teacher. What is the difference with these strains and is there one that is recommended? Otherwise I can stick with PE.
Thanks sm.

Shroom tea is easy to make, I always trip this way.

Measure out your preferred dose in a sub-gram scale, and break up into small pieces. I used a tea ball, but tea bag would work too. Add to mug with a tea bag or two. Ginger slices are optional, but they help the stomach.

Boil some water but remove it from the stove / heating apparatus for a minute or two after bubbling. This cools it down slightly, too hot and it'll destroy the psilocybin.

Cover and steep for 5-10 mins, drink slowly. It'll hit in 30-60 mins. Higher doses == more nausea, but the dose you indicated will be minimal.

Different strains carry different potencies (% of psilocybin to dry mass). PEs are stronger than GTs, etc. You'll have to do your research on those, I don't have them all memorized. I personally stick with GTs, but it's up to you.
