Kratom is used by many for both recreational and medical purposes. Mitragynaspeciosa, or Kratom, comes from the same family as the coffee tree. Its leaves have been used as a herbal drug for centuries in countries where it originated from. In the past times, the kratom leaves is chewed fresh.
However, because of the taste and the toughness of the leaves, people have thought of different ways of taking the wonder drug. Now, you can find kratom for sale that are in powder form, capsules and extracts. But, taking the powder directly and shooting it down with water, toss 'n' wash as users call this method, still leaves a bitter flavor in the mouth that is not very pleasant. There are other, more tolerable ways to
feel the health benefits of this plant though.
Chocolate milkshake
Everybody loves chocolate. The sweet taste of it can remove the bitter taste of the herb well. The thickness of the drink would also prevent the Kratom powder from settling at the bottom. You can just add your regular chocolate milk gradually to a glass with your usual dose of powdered
Kratom. Stir constantly as you add more of the milk to the glass to allow the powder to be dissolved well.
Coffee
This is a very inconspicuous way of taking the herb, especially when you are out and you need a dose. If you are one who takes a teabag of it with you to work, you can add the powder to your coffee cup before going to the brewer and filling it up with the hot beverage. Just make sure to stir it well to allow the powder to dissolve well and not waste it by leaving most of the Kratom at the bottom of your cup. Though coffee is also bitter, it tastes a lot better than the herb alone.
Yogurt
Although some say that the mixture gives them nausea, more says they get the opposite effect. However, if you want to try, make sure to take it in small doses first. It is better to use yogurt straight out from the fridge. You can also add more fruits to completely mask the taste of the powder then stir carefully. Let it sit for a few minutes before eating it.
Tea
The processed tea of Kratom leaves, although sufficiently cooled, can still have a bad taste. You can add some honey, sugar, cinnamon or fruit syrup to make it taste better. Reheat the tea with some water and add any sweetener you choose. You can also dilute the taste with some milk or creamer.
Juice
One of the favorites and easiest way to use Kratom is by mixing them in acidic juices like lemon or grapefruit. The acid will help break down the essential alkaloids in the powder. It has the same effect as processing the leaves to make tea.
Important note: Make sure to
learn more about the herb before taking any of it. It is recommended to ask a trusted doctor to help you with dosage intake as well.
