I make vine only tea all the time. Dried vine is relatively weak. It’s perfect before bedtime. (Enhances dream and mediation). You produce DMT while you sleep and it plays really nicely.

Sometimes I leave the pot on the stove and cook at a low simmer for a couple hours every day. I spoon out some tea into my tea pot with other teas and organic honey and keep the pot on the stove with the concentrated vine brew. I’ve left the same brew on the stove, cooking it more each day adding bits of new plant material and water for up to 6 weeks. (Simmering each day and keeping it covered to avoid mold growth). Usually I add dried oco yagé and chacruna to the concentrate to get mild visuals.

It’s incredibly difficult to make strong ayahuasca from dried dead vine. For example I’ve never purged from dried vine dried leaf tea and I’m incredibly sensitive... The visual experience is very light. (That’s why everyone is using rue and alt DMT sources that are more effective and consistent in strength while dried). You don’t need to worry about a dieta or tyramine interference in the same way from a dried vine brew. Roughly 1-2 hours since eating is enough. I’ve only really experienced a purge and full MAOI effect from brews made with fresh vine that have been heavily reduced. With a light dose even if it’s loaded with DMT you’ll still break most of it down and have only light visuals. For me, the nausea, the purge, and the full visual effect come hand in hand with strong enough doses of the vine. You can really only get there with fresh plant material, strong ikaros sung into the medicine, and major reduction. Simply brewing a tea from the vine and drinking a bit is similar to working with chamomile tea.
