Making Kratom tea is a popular way to consume this herbal supplement, as it offers fast-acting effects and is gentler on the stomach than some other methods. Here’s a step-by-step guide to brewing your perfect cup of Kratom tea.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 teaspoons of Kratom powder (adjust based on your desired potency)
- 2 cups of water
- Juice of 1 lemon (helps with the extraction of alkaloids and improves the taste)
- Honey or sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- Ginger (optional, to reduce bitterness and help with digestion)
Instructions:
Boil the water: Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil in a pot. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the Kratom powder: Gradually stir in your Kratom powder, making sure it mixes well with the water. Keep the water at a low simmer—boiling can destroy some of Kratom’s beneficial compounds.
Add lemon juice: Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon. This not only improves the flavor but also helps to extract more alkaloids from the Kratom.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes: Allow the Kratom to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the powder from sticking to the bottom.
Strain the tea: After simmering, strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into your mug. This will remove the Kratom powder and leave you with a smooth tea.
Add sweetener and ginger: If the taste is too bitter, you can add honey, sugar, or a slice of fresh ginger to improve the flavor.
Enjoy: Sip slowly and enjoy your soothing cup of Kratom tea. The effects will typically start within 20 to 30 minutes.
Tips for Making Kratom Tea:
- Dosage: Start with a small amount (1-2 teaspoons) of Kratom powder, especially if you're new to Kratom. You can adjust the dosage in future brews based on your experience.
- Avoid Boiling: Simmering is key. Boiling Kratom can break down the alkaloids and reduce its effectiveness.
- Taste Adjustments: Feel free to experiment with other flavor enhancers like mint, chamomile, or cinnamon for a more enjoyable taste.
By brewing Kratom as a tea, you can enjoy its benefits while avoiding some of the bitterness and digestive discomfort that can occur with other consumption methods.
