5 Kratom Tea Recipes You Should Try

There are many ways in which you can take kratom. Yet, kratom tea remains one of the most popular ones. It’s relatively easy to make, and, if done correctly, can potentiate the benefits of kratom alkaloids.

The most popular way of making kratom tea is by boiling water and simmering kratom in it for about 20 minutes. However, the powder offered by some vendors may not taste as well. Or you may even get bored from drinking the same tea every time. Therefore, we will describe 5 kratom tea recipes to spice up your kratom journey.

5 Kratom Tea Recipes

Kratom Lemon Honey Tea Recipe

This is the simplest way of enhancing the effects of kratom and changing its favor. It’s also one of the most popular kratom tea recipes. Lemon (and other citrus fruits) is one of the most popular ways to enhance kratom tea effects.

Lemon is rich in vitamin C. Therefore, it helps strengthen the immune system. It also has strong antibacterial properties and can protect against different infections. When taken with warm water, lemon juice can help the body maintain a normal PH level.

Honey, however, can sweeten the tea and make it more pleasurable to take. Raw organic honey also has antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. As a matter of fact, it can even be used for healing wounds. 

Yet, note that not all store-bought honey will be the same. It’s best to look for raw and organic varieties to reap all the benefits.

To make kratom lemon honey tea, you will need:

• the dose of kratom powder that you normally take,
• ½ liter of water
• half a lemon,
• honey to taste.

How to make kratom tea with honey and lemon:

1. Fill your pot with water and bring it to a boil.
2. Lower the heat so that the water simmers rather than boils.
3. Stir in kratom powder and simmer for about 15 minutes.
4. Add lemon juice and honey and simmer for a few more minutes. Some sources will advise you to add lemon and honey at the beginning. We do, however, suggest adding it at the end, as exposure to hot water can destroy the beneficial properties of both lemon and honey.
5. Remove your tea from the heat and strain it.

Kratom Masala Chai Recipe

If you’d like to spice up your daily dose of kratom and enhance kratom tea effects, you can do so by making kratom masala tea. Masala chai is an Indian type of sweetened tea with milk and Indian herbs and spices that has become popular in the west. Traditionally, it is made with black tea.

For this kratom recipe, you will need:

• the dose of kratom powder that you normally take, 
• a quarter liter of water,
• a quarter liter of milk (you can use any non-dairy milk if you prefer),
• half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder,
• a quarter teaspoon of clove powder,
• a pinch of nutmeg, 
• 1-2 teaspoons of honey or another kratom sweetener.

You can either make the spice mixture every time you prepare your kratom masala chai, or you can mix it in advance and use a teaspoon and a half or two teaspoons every time you need it. If you choose to do the latter, combine the spices and herbs using the proportions above. Feel free to modify the proportions according to taste.

The process of how to make kratom tea with spices is as follows:

1. Combine spices and herbs with water and bring it to a boil.
2. Add milk and bring it to a boil. You should keep an eye on your mixture as milk can boil over. You can make a mess and waste some of the ingredients.
3. Reduce the heat so that the mixture simmers.
4. Add kratom powder and simmer the mixture for about 15-20 minutes.
5. Add honey during the last couple of minutes to ensure that it melts properly.
6. Remove your tea from the heat and strain.

If you use sugar instead of honey, you can add it together with the milk.

Don’t skimp on the sweetener. You can add even more, as masala chai tends to taste better when it’s sweet. Avoid burning the milk, as that can too destroy the taste of your tea.

Kratom Mint Tea Recipe

Mint tea has multiple health benefits that can be very useful in combination with kratom tea effects.

It can ease and speed up digestion as well as regulate cholesterol levels. Peppermint, in particular, can also relieve pain caused by gas and bloating. Spearmint, however, can regulate hormones and lower blood sugar. It may also aid in reducing stress.

Whenever you are making herbal teas, it’s best to use actual leaves instead of tea bags. Teabags usually contain fannings (or dust) though some companies do offer whole-leaf tea.

For this kratom tea recipe, you will need:

• your dose of kratom,
• half a liter of water,
• approximately a teaspoon of mint leaves (you can use a teabag instead if you prefer),
• honey or another sweetener to taste,
• ½ lemon (optional if you like the taste and would like to enhance kratom tea effects).

How to make kratom tea with mint:

1. Bring water to a boil.
2. Turn down the heat and let the water simmer.
3. Toss in your kratom and mint.
4. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
5. Add honey and lemon and simmer for a few more minutes.
6. Remove from the heat and strain.

You may come across a green tea and mint mix. You can use that too. However, keep in mind that green tea has caffeine in it and can have stimulant effects. So, you may need to adjust your kratom dose to make sure that you do not get jitters or experience other side effects.

It also would be best not to take green tea with slow strains such as Red Bali Kratom or in the evening. Otherwise, you may disturb your sleep.

Kratom Chamomile Tea Recipe

Chamomile is another herb packed with loads of antioxidants and with lots of health benefits. It is most commonly used to improve sleep and digestion. But it may also regulate your blood sugar and protect you against certain types of cancer and heart disease.

Chamomile is best to use with the slow strains as it may help you relax. Since it soothes your stomach, it may also help you if you are experiencing digestive issues after taking kratom.

As mentioned above, we always recommend using the actual herb (flowers in this case) instead of tea bags. 

For this kratom tea recipe you will need: 

• your dose of kratom,
• 1 or 1 ½ teaspoons of dried chamomile flowers or 1 chamomile tea teabag,
• ½ liter of water,
• honey or another sweetener to taste.

How to make kratom tea with chamomile:

1. Bring the water to boil and lower down the heat so that it simmers.
2. Add kratom powder and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, add chamomile flowers to a pot.
4. Thurn of the heat and strain kratom tea. 
5. Add strained kratom tea to the pot with chamomile flowers.
6. Steep for 5-7 minutes.
7. Add honey or another sweetener to taste if you’d like to sweeten your tea.

If our suggested dose of chamomile isn’t enough and you’d like a stronger taste of it, add more flowers rather than leave your tea steeping for longer. Herbal teas tend to turn bitter if left steeping for a longer time. In combination with the natural taste of kratom that may not be as pleasant. 

Note that some people may be allergic to chamomile. So, if you are allergic to ragweed, daisies, and chrysanthemums, it may be best to avoid chamomile.

Kratom Yerba Mate Tea

Yerba mate kratom tea isn’t one of the most popular kratom tea recipes, but it definitely has many benefits that make it worth trying.

Yerba mate is a popular South American beverage. It contains approximately a third of caffeine as the same amount of coffee along with other chemicals with stimulant effects.

There are people who like it as a substitute for coffee. It can improve focus and physical performance. It can also boost your immune system, regulate blood sugar, and may even help you lose weight. In addition to its stimulant effects, it is rich in antioxidants. Even more than green tea.

Traditionally, yerba mate is made in a gourd and drunk from a special straw called bombilla. But you can use a French press if that’s more convenient for you.

Since yerba mate contains caffeine, you may want to lower your dose. Especially if you’re taking it for stimulant kratom tea effects.

For this kratom tea recipe, you will need:

• kratom powder,
• ⅓ of ½ cup of yerba mate,
• ½ liter of water,
• sweetener to taste,
• cat’s claw (optional if you would like to potentiate kratom tea effects)
• lime (optional if you like the taste and would like to strengthen kratom tea effects).

The process of this kratom tea recipe is the following:

1. Place yerba mate, cat’s claw, and kratom powder in a French press.
2. Ass a splash of cold water to moisten the yerba mate leaves.
3. Boil the water.
4. Pour hot, but not boiling water over the mixture and let it steep for 5 minutes.
5. Strain your tea.
6. Add lime juice and sweetener to taste.
