Looking for a smoother way to take your kratom? Kratom tea is a traditional, effective, and often more enjoyable method for those who prefer sipping to swallowing capsules or gummies. This guide will walk you through how to brew the perfect cup of kratom tea—and get the most from every gram.

🍵 Why Drink Kratom as Tea?

Brewing kratom into tea helps:

Mask the bitter taste
Improve digestion & reduce nausea
Enhance ritual & mindfulness
Kick in slightly faster than capsules

Perfect for morning routines or post-work wind-downs, kratom tea is both relaxing and functional.

🧪 What You’ll Need

2–4 grams of kratom powder (1–2 teaspoons)
2 cups of water
1–2 teaspoons lemon juice (helps preserve alkaloids)
Optional: honey, agave, ginger, or mint

Tools:

Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
Mug or thermos

🔥 How to Brew It (Step-by-Step)

Add 2 cups of water to a saucepan and heat to just before boiling.

Stir occasionally and avoid a rolling boil.
Strain the mixture into a mug using a fine mesh or cheesecloth.
Add your sweetener or flavoring of choice.

☕ Pro Tip: Make a larger batch and store in the fridge—good for up to 3 days.
