Kratom tea is gaining popularity. It’s even rivaling coffee in some circles. And despite what some may think, it’s not a difficult or time-consuming process to make, especially with pre-measured Kratom tea bags. The acidity of the drink is comparable to a strong green tea.

There are two common ways to make Kratom tea. One is with crushed leaves, and the other is with powder.

Method 1: Kratom Powder

All you need is Kratom powder, a pot, water, and a heat source. Acidic ingredients like lemon or grapefruit juice extend its effects and soften Kratom’s natural herbal taste.

For tea, mix your measured dose of Kratom into a pot, add hot (but not boiling) water, stir well, and let it brew for 5 to 7 minutes. Let the powder settle at the base of the pot before pouring your cup.

You can combine the resulting tea with other herbal teas, sweeten it with sugar, syrup, or honey, or cool it with ice. You can even prepare it in advance and store it in the refrigerator. And yes, you can use a coffee maker to brew Kratom tea, though it may acquire a coffee flavor. Use the machine as you would for coffee, but with Kratom powder instead of coffee grounds.

Method 2: Crushed Leaf Kratom

If you’re using crushed leaf Kratom, either loose in a filter or in a Kratom tea bag, you’ll need to brew the tea for longer. Here are the simple steps to follow:

1. Heat water, but do not boil
2. Add the crushed leaves
3. Wait for 20-30 minutes
4. Serve and enjoy!

If you have extra tea bags or loose leaves, store them in the fridge in a sealed container to keep it fresh. Be mindful of strong-smelling items in the fridge that could affect the tea’s flavor.
