Do them in moderation; less is definitely better for you first trip.
Eating dried shroom will cause a longer duration trip as your guts first have to hydrate the shrooms to begin breaking them down and processing the psylocybin. This is not good, if you are not enjoying your trip.
My ‘advice’ (other than not doing it) would be to get about 30-40 small, fresh shrooms, and boil them up in a cupful of water and a chicken stock cube.
Simmer for about 10 minutes, allow to cool a little and then drink on an empty stomach.
If the shrooms are not fresh, do this anyway with the dried ones, to extract the active ingredient. Do not consume the actual mushrooms unless you want a longer trip. Actually, boiling them in this way does seem to do a good job of removing the psylocybin from the flesh of the fungi.
The effects of this liquid brew will hit you in about 20-30 minutes and it will be a fairly abrupt comeup. However, it will be purged from your system enough that you feel 95% normal in about 2 hours. No extended period wondering why the fuck you took halucinogens.
DO NOT do over 60. I once did 100 with a friend. They were picked off my mothers’ garden and went straight into the pan and then straight down out throats.
45 minutes (or there abouts, lol) later, we were both sat on the couch, with a duvet over us, holding hands, rocking back and forth, chanting “We’ll be alright. we’ll be alright”. Needless to say, if my mother had returned early, we would both have been in an ambulance ASAP. Funny now but not funny at the time.
Finally, this should go without saying really, but as it’s your forst time, try not to pollute the experience with alcohol or cannabis. Once you come down, a spliff might help you to chill but don’t do it until you are sure you are down.
This is just my opinion of course

I find that counting the caps isn’t terribly accurate, there is a fair amount of variation in cap size (at least where I live).
A first-timer with no hallucinogen experience should probably take one sixteenth of an ounce. An eighth will be a crazy trip. More than an eighth plus orange juice will leave you facedown, drooling into the carpet.
The tea seems like a good idea, but I’ve never tried it. When you eat the dried fungus, you tend to have multiple ‘peaks’, between which you will may feel almost normal, but be totally unable to communicate with non-trippy people.
