Key Points for Brewing Kratom Tea
- Use hot water, not boiling
- Add lemon or lime juice
- Experiment with different strains
- Adjust brewing time and amount
- Store in airtight containers (refrigerated)
Choosing Your Kratom
The first step in making great kratom tea is picking the right type. Kratom comes in different varieties, each with its own special qualities. Green types like Green Malay and Red Bali are popular choices. When choosing your kratom, think about what you prefer and when you plan to drink it.
You can use either powdered leaves or crushed leaves for your tea. Powders mix in more easily, while crushed leaves can be strained out to make the drink smoother. The choice between powder and crushed leaves often depends on what you like and how you plan to make your tea.
Essential Tools for Brewing
To make kratom tea, you'll need a few basic things:
- A kettle or pot for heating water
- A mug or teapot
- A strainer (if using crushed leaves)
- A spoon for stirring
- Lemon or lime juice (optional, but recommended)
- A digital scale for precise measurements
- A thermometer to ensure optimal water temperature
Make sure all your tools are clean and safe to use with food. Buying kratom in larger amounts can save money if you plan to make tea often. When you buy a lot at once, try to store your kratom in containers that don't let air in and keep it away from light and moisture to keep it fresh.
Making a Single Cup of Kratom Tea
Here's an easy way to make one cup of kratom tea:
- Heat water until it's hot but not boiling (around 190°F or 88°C).
- Add 1-2 grams of kratom powder to your mug.
- Pour the hot water over the kratom.
- Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
- Stir well and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Strain if needed, then drink your tea.
Start with a small amount and change it based on what you like. Different kratom types might need different amounts to suit your preferences.
Brewing Large Batches of Kratom Tea
If you like kratom tea often, making a big batch can save time. Here's how:
- Use a large pot and increase the ingredients.
- Heat water to the right temperature.
- Add kratom powder or leaves (about 1-2 grams for each cup of water).
- Stir in lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon for each cup of water).
- Heat gently for 20-30 minutes, stirring sometimes.
- Strain the tea and let it cool before storing.
Keep your big batch of kratom tea in the fridge and drink it within 3-5 days for the best taste. When making large batches, think about dividing the tea into single-serving containers to make it easy to use and to keep it fresh each time you want a cup.
Making Your Kratom Tea Taste Better
Kratom can taste bitter, but there are ways to make it taste better:
- Add honey or stevia to make it sweet
- Mix in ginger or cinnamon for extra flavor
- Blend with other herbal teas you like
- Try adding a splash of coconut milk to make it creamy
- Experiment with natural flavors like vanilla or almond
For a different experience, you could try using kratom extracts. These are more concentrated and can be used in smaller amounts. Be careful when using extracts because they are much stronger than regular kratom powder.
Storing Your Kratom Tea
Storing your kratom tea properly is important to keep it good:
- Use containers that don't let air in to keep it clean
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
- Don't leave tea at room temperature for a long time
- Shake or stir before drinking as some parts might settle
- You can freeze portions to keep them longer
If you notice any weird smells or colors, it's best to throw the tea away and make a new batch. Always make sure your kratom tea is safe and fresh before drinking it.
Advanced Ways to Make Kratom Tea
If you want to try something different, here are some advanced methods:
Cold Brew Kratom Tea
- Mix kratom powder with cold water
- Add lemon juice and stir well
- Put in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours
- Strain and enjoy over ice
Sun Tea Method
- Fill a clear jar with water and kratom
- Add lemon juice and close tightly
- Place in direct sunlight for 3-5 hours
- Strain and refrigerate
These methods can make the tea taste smoother. Trying different kratom products can also add variety to your tea-drinking experience. Some people say that cold brew methods might make the flavor milder, which can be good if you don't like the natural bitter taste of kratom.
