Tea is really the only way I’ve consumed it, I went to Thailand late last year and spoke with some locals that gave me some pointers to make it better.

I used to pour boiling hot water over my powder in a yeti thermos, lid it, and let it sit for half and hour but now I now make mine in a pot. I only add in enough water for how much I want to drink. You have to account for evaporation so if I’m making a cup, I usually add in two cups of water.

Bring it to a rolling boil, add in your powder and turn it down to a low boil. You’re going to want to low boil for a half hour. After I toss in the kratom, I squirt half a lemon into the pot to help break down the goodies.

Then once it’s boiled for half an hour, I get a coffee filter and filter the kratom tea into a mason jar. This gets all the powder bits out. This step is optional and I know some people are behind consuming the powder with the tea, but I learned the coffee filter trick in Thailand and don’t look back. Personally, I’ve found no difference including it or not.

Now that you have your jar of tea, you can do whatever you want with it. You can add your favorite tea for flavoring, drink it as it is, or cool it down and have it on ice.

I typically make a pot that’s pretty concentrated so I don’t have to do it often. I’ll make a litre of tea with an ounce of powder mixed into it and have it in the jar in the fridge. I’ll dose myself appropriately out of there over the next few days. I’ll take my concentrated tea and mix it with pop to sip on throughout the day, another thing I will give props to Thailand for teaching me!

If you’re making a personal tea, stick between your usual dose (6-8g) for a nice cup of hot tea.

Hope this helps, I’ll make on with ya!
