Well, the directions for tea I found said to use half a cup of water per dose (however much that is) but we didn't have a measuring cup so we just poured some in. Bring the water to a boil, remove from heat and put shrooms in. You can crush them up with a coffee grinder or whatever and you can put them in a tea bag like I did, or throw them in and strain the tea once its done. Once the shrooms are in, leave them in for like 5-10 minutes stiring occasionally.
