Kratom tea is a popular way to consume kratom for its potential benefits such as pain relief, increased energy, and mood enhancement. Here are several methods to prepare kratom awesome tea:
1. Traditional Boiling Method
One of the most common ways to prepare kratomĀ awesome tea is by boiling. Start by measuring out your desired amount of kratom powder or crushed leaves, typically between 1-2 teaspoons for beginners. Bring 2-3 cups of water to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the kratom and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally. After simmering, use a fine strainer or cheesecloth to filter out the solid particles, pouring the tea into a cup. You can add honey, lemon, or other flavorings to improve the taste.
2. Cold Brew Method
For a less bitter and more convenient option, consider cold brewing. Place your kratom powder or leaves into a large jar with cold water, using about 1-2 teaspoons per cup of water. Stir well and let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or overnight. After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine mesh or cheesecloth into another container. This method produces a smoother, less acidic tea.
3. Instant Kratom Tea
For a quick preparation, you can use kratom extract or instant kratom tea bags. These products are pre-measured and often come with instructions. Simply add hot water and stir until the extract or tea bag is fully dissolved or steeped. This method is convenient for those who are on the go or prefer a hassle-free preparation.
4. Lemon Juice Method
Adding lemon juice to the boiling water can enhance the extraction of alkaloids from the kratom leaves. Prepare as you would with the traditional method, but add the juice of one lemon per cup of water before adding the kratom. The acidity helps to extract more of the active compounds, potentially increasing the tea’s potency.
