What exactly is a Kratom Tree?

A lot of plant species on the planet has medicinal effects. Among these is the Kratom Tree. Kratom is a tree native to Southeast Asia. It is from the same family as the coffee tree. Leaves from this tree have been used as an herbal drug since ancient times. Its uses include: stimulant (at low doses), sedative (at high doses), recreational drug, pain killer, medicine for diarrhea, and treatment for opiate addiction.

One way of ingesting Kratom is by making a tea out of it. Here is the most basic Kratom tea recipe:
  1. Take 50 grams of dried, crushed kratom leaves and put into a pot.
  2. Add one liter of water.
  3. Boil this mixture gently for 15 minutes.
  4. Pour the tea through a strainer into a bowl to separate the liquid from the leaves.
  5. Put the leaves back in the pot and add another liter of fresh water.
  6. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
  7. Put the combined liquid from both boiling back into the pot and boil until the volume is reduced to about 100 ml.
Kratom tea tastes bitter. Some people add sugar in it to make its taste bearable. Others, however, choose to minimize Kratom tea’s unpleasant taste by gulping it down quickly and then immediately chasing it with some pleasant-tasting fruit juice.

Kratom tea can be safely stored in the refrigerator for about five days. So, you may use the preparation method above to make larger amounts of herbal tea. You may also adjust the volume of water used to vary the tea’s strength.

It is probably okay to keep the Kratom tea mixture a bit longer than five days, but it is better to play it safe and consume it within that time frame. If you want to store it for many months, you may want to add some alcohol to it. Adding about 10% alcohol will preserve it for many months. Just make sure you put the mixture inside the refrigerator.

Just a word of caution: never drink anything without the go signal of your physician, especially when you have some illness and taking regular medicines and/or treatments.
