There Are 2 Ways To Make Kratom Tea!

Tips

There are a few different ways to enjoy this traditional beverage, which is where kratom tea recipes come in. Before you start finding ways to doctor up your kratom tea, though, it’s helpful to know a few general tips about how to brew it like a pro:

  1. Do not heat kratom in the water. Instead, heat the water first, then pour it over your kratom powder or mix the kratom into your hot water. This makes for a more consistent steeping process. Let the mixture sit for at least 10-15 minutes (but we find the sweet spot is right around 13 minutes.)
  2. Strain your kratom. There are some differing opinions here. Some people say they like to leave the plant material in their kratom tea, so they know nothing goes to waste. Other kratom connoisseurs will tell you the tea is much more enjoyable without all of its powder. Most people do this with a coffee filter, mesh tea infuser, cheesecloth, or fine mesh strainer. If you don’t have a good way to strain your kratom, you might want to let the powder settle to the bottom of the teacup and carefully drink off the top, avoiding the settled material. (Note that we find that consuming the full plant material will always result in a longer lasting effect as well as stronger effects. We believe this is due to the fact that some of the alkaloids in kratom are not water soluble and thus will only be extracted by the body’s digestive processes.)
