Beyond the common use of chewing Kratom leaves, Kratom tea has a variety of uses. People often consume Kratom tea both during the day and in the evenings after work. In each situation, a different brewing technique is used, which has an impact on how strong the tea is.
Despite having a lower profile in the West, nowadays, Kratom tea is becoming more and more popular among those who like to socialise. Just like a drink at a contemporary Kava bar could make you unwind and get conversational, people use tea to make the most out of the time spent with their friends and family. People also drink Kratom tea because of its calming properties.
Kratom Tea Benefits
Kratom tea is considered as an herbal beverage. Despite being closely related to the coffee plant, Kratom is different from coffee and regular tea in that it doesn’t contain high levels of caffeine. It is, however, high in alkaloids, which may provide benefits to drinkers. Mitragynine and 7-hydroxy mitragynine are two distinct alkaloids found in Kratom leaves in abundance.
Kratom Tea Serving Size
The only difference between midday and evening tea is the amount and potency of tea consumed. Kratom has energising effects when taken in smaller doses. On the other hand, the effects are more relaxing when you have a heaping amount, which is equal to three or more tea bags (9 or more grammes).
Here a few serving size suggestions according to the number of tea bags:
- Light dose – 3 grams (1 tea bag)
- Moderate dose – 6 grams (2 tea bag)
- High dose – 9 grams (3 tea bag)
How To Make Kratom Tea
Finally, with the background information out of the way, we can begin discussing “how to make kratom tea!”
You’ll need your Kratom first. Avoid powder that has been pulverised into a micron. Despite your best efforts, preparing Kratom tea from powder will almost always result in a bitter, grit-filled beverage.
Ingredients Required
The following items are required to make kratom tea using powder:
- 20–25 grammes of Kratom powder.
- Small lemon
- Coffee filter or a colander
- Pot
- Little whisk
- 2 cups water
- Sweeteners like maple syrup, honey, sugar, or agave juice.
Instructions
Bring to a boil half a cup of water in a kettle. When it begins to boil, add the Kratom powder, lower the heat, and let it simmer for ten to fifteen minutes. Make sure every now and then you stir. When the colour turns a rich orange or yellow, remove the saucepan from the heat. Transfer the herb to another cup after straining it and then, throw away the leftover powder. Finally, add some lemon or grapefruit juice to enhance the effects of the tea. You can extend the shelf life of leftover tea by adding sugar or other sweeteners and storing it in the refrigerator for up to two to three weeks.
Other Methods Of Making Kratom Tea
There are many other ways of making tea. For example, using Kratom tea bags – the most easy and most convenient way of making tea. Find below some more interesting ways of making this beverage.
Coffee Pot Method
Boil the water in the coffee maker until it is halfway full. Then add the preferred dosage of Kratom powder to a strainer and put within the filter basket. Once water has reached a rolling boil, pour the boiling water over the powder-filled strainer. Double, even triple, brew the tea to extract alkaloids from the powder. Remove the filter and throw it away after letting the filtrate sit for at least five minutes. Refill the reservoir with tea, then pour it through the coffee maker once more.
Aerospace Method
Start by making a fine powder out of the preferred dosage of kratom leaves. Then, fill the aeropress chamber with it before adding your hot water. To make sure the powder and water mixture dissolves thoroughly, stir it with a coffee stirrer. When everything is blended thoroughly, set the aeropress chamber on its stand and press the plunger. As the pressure in the drink increases, gently push the plunger. Press gradually until it is securely seated at the bottom. The resulting Kratom tea is going to be really potent.
Kratom Leaves Method
You can make the best Kratom tea by enhancing its effects with acidic components. To begin, crush the fresh leaves into a powder. Use boiling water in batches to dissolve the powder to ensure proper breakdown. After it has dissolved, top off the liquid with more water and bring it to a boil. For 10 to 15 minutes, turn the heat down and let the liquid simmer. Strain the leaves out and serve the tea hot once the mixture has been reduced to a thick syrup.
Cold Brew Method
If you favour sweet tea or despise hot beverages, you can create and drink Kratom iced tea. Sweet Kratom iced tea can hide the characteristic bitter flavour of Kratom powder, resulting in a pleasant and refreshing beverage that is ideal for sipping on a hot day.
To make tea using this method, add the ginger slices to the boiling Kratom tea and steep for 5 minutes. Then pour the tea through a strainer into a mixing cup and whisk in the honey until it dissolves. Finally mix in the orange or lemon juice and allow it to cool. Fill a large glass halfway with ice and pour over the cooled tea. Serve right away.
Final Thought
While there are numerous kratom tea recipes and methods for taking kratom, the ideal method is the one that you love the most. Experiment with different methods, flavours, and strengths to figure out which ones you prefer. Once you’ve determined which is most effective for you, always remember to drink mindfully and savour each sip.
