What exactly is Kratom Tea?
Well, you may have probably heard about kratom being a herbal substance with all the amazing health benefits. But what is kratom tea? Kratom tea is just one of the several ways to consume kratom for its various benefits. You can think of it as your regular green tea but along with additional kratom benefits. The ingredients for different kratom tea recipes vary but they all have more or less the same preparatory method.
Important Preparation Notes
Before we start, there is some important information that needs to be addressed.
In order to retain as much of the kratom’s alkaloidal content do not let your kratom roll in boiling water. Instead, what you can do is place your kratom in the water after letting it cool down for a minute or when it is simmering.
To enjoy extra deliciousness, add lemon juice to your kratom leaf or powder and allow it to soak before putting it on heat. The acidic nature of the lemon will also keep the alkaloidal content consistent.
Another crucial thing to remember is the taste of kratom which is bitter and just like with any other tea the longer you let it boil the further the taste intensifies.
Lastly, every individual’s body is different and the way we absorb organic chemicals also varies from person to person. This is why it is necessary to follow guidelines regarding what serving size you should start with. It is better to start with 1 to 2 grams of kratom per teacup and increase it gradually as you see fit.
