So begins my attempt to make something which will help me make Kratom available to myself but stored in a form which will make it easy to consume.
Last night I used my pressure cooker to make some tea. I took three cups of tea leaves with 6 quarts of water and cooked them for 20 minutes.
What I had left was a deep, brown liquid. The leaves were removed and I set it aside to cool.
Today I will reduce the liquid to make an extract which I can store in the fridge for later use.
My first attempt will be to make lollipops with the extract.
I need to get a sugar thermometer, molds and sticks.
I plan on using honey for the recipe rather than sugar.
The pressure cooker worked wonderfully. It broken down the leaves and I believe is more efficient at extracting the compounds.
I didn't use any special settings. I pushed the Pressure Cook option and let it run.
Right now I'm drinking the tea with honey. This is the first time I've used Kratom in over a week.
