Love drinking tea? Have you found the same love for Kratom tea, or are you still struggling to figure out the best way to create an appetizing Kratom drink?

As much as we love Kratom products, we know that Kratom tea is a bit of an acquired taste. There’s no doubt that it takes some time to get the flavor combination and brewing methods adjusted to suit your palette. Even then, it’s nothing like drinking a standard tea latte!

Still, we are believers that you should be able to enjoy each step of the Kratom process as much as possible. We’ve used our own experiences as well as those of our customers to create this quick guide to adjusting Kratom tea to taste as good as possible.

With this guide in hand, you’ll be able to revolutionize the way that you enjoy your tea.

How To Make Kratom Tea

Before we get into the different ways that you can adjust the tea to taste better, we need to tell you how to make tea! While we have a full guide on brewing Kratom tea, this short review can serve as a reminder for what you should be doing when you make your tea.

1. Gather a pot, a liter of water, Kratom tea powder, and some type of strainer. We prefer to use cheesecloth, but a mesh strainer can work well, too.
2. Bring water to a full boil. Then, lower the heat.
3. Allow the water to cool down after boiling for around three minutes.
4. Add your Kratom leaves. The batch size is up to you!
5. Allow the water to remain at a simmer, and let your tea simmer for around twenty minutes.
6. Use your preferred strainer to get the Kratom leaves out of your tea once it is done simmering.

You can then drink the tea hot, or allow it to cool and refrigerate it for up to five days. Preparing Kratom tea in larger batches like this in advance will allow you to save time when you want to consume daily. Otherwise, you will need to go through this entire process every day!

Different Flavor Profiles

There are a lot of different ways that you can change up how you drink your Kratom tea for here. Few people will want to drink Kratom straight as it was just prepared; most will want to add at least some type of sweetener. Today, we’ve rounded up a number of great suggestions that you can use to make Kratom tea taste better!

Add Flavored Milk

How do you like to drink your tea or coffee? Do you add milk and sweetener? Many people add flavored creams or milk to their morning beverages to make it taste better, and the same can be done with Kratom.

Adding a sweetened milk beverage component such as vanilla almond milk is a great way to completely change the flavor profile that Kratom tea offers. It is sweet and milky, and these two aspects help to cut through the natural earthiness of Kratom quite well.

If almond milk isn’t your thing, there are a lot of other options:

Any flavored dairy creamer
Flavored soy milk
Flavored oat milk
Straight milk if you are avoiding sugar

We suggest almond milk as the top choice among these options not only because it makes the drink smoother but also because it is an alkaline beverage. This helps it line up with the chemical composition of Kratom very well.

Try It Citrus-y and Sweet

Another very common way to enjoy Kratom tea is to add a sweetener such as honey and sugar as well as lemon. As mentioned above, Kratom has a very rich, earthy flavor. This flavor can be too heavy for many people.

The citrus from lemon juice can, however, cut through that darkness. The honey or sugar can make the tea taste sweeter overall and eliminate even more of those earthy flavors. When adding sugar, it is best to start with a spoonful per 12-ounce cup and add more as needed.

There are other benefits to using lemon in your Kratom tea, especially if you’ll be storing it to use throughout the week! The citric acid in lemon can help to ensure that the alkaline content of the tea doesn’t break down too much while in storage, so it is an especially great thing to add to your tea.

Lemon isn’t the only citrus that can be used in this way! You can also use orange or grapefruit juice instead if you want to try a different flavor profile instead of lemon.

Mix With Another Tea

Another way that you can enjoy Kratom tea more is if you try to combine it with a sweet or fruity tea that will help to balance out the earthy taste of Kratom. We recommend brewing them separately and then experimenting with the ratios of tea-to-tea to figure out what works for you.

Some of our favorite teas to try with Kratom include:

Raspberry tea
Green, citrus tea
Flavored teas (vanilla, chai, etc.)
Fruity teas
Sweetened tea
Tea lemonades

When brewing tea to mix with Kratom tea, we recommend that you use twice the number of tea bags that you would normally use. This will help you to create a more concentrated flavor. More intense flavors will be more effective at balancing the strong flavor of Kratom tea.

Just Add A Syrup!

Finally, there’s one more easy way to change up the flavor of your Kratom tea. Just add a few pumps of your favorite flavor via a simple syrup! You can find these syrups at many stores as they are often used for flavoring coffee and tea at home. Using a little bit to Kratom tea is sure to work wonders as well!

Stick to similar profiles as the teas listed about: sweet and fruity flavors are going to be the most effective at helping to make Kratom tea more palatable to you.

Once you’ve decided that you want to give Kratom a try, you will have to choose what type of consumption method you want to use. While many beginners stick to liquid extracts or capsules for the ease of use, veterans of Kratom enjoy experimenting with different varieties of tea powders and tea brewing methods to spice up their tea.

Making Kratom tea, as hard as it may seem at first, isn’t actually any harder than making any other tea! The main thing that should concern you is whether or not you enjoy the final product so that you can adjust your brewing method until you get it just right.

While you will ultimately need to make personalized adjustments to your tea brewing method to suit your own needs, we are going to share our favorite methodologies for brewing Kratom tea. Use these methods as a starting point, and then get creative from there.

Beginner Notes

Before we get into the methodology of brewing your own Kratom tea, allow us to share a few important tips and tricks that will help to ensure that you get it right from the start.

• Do not mix Kratom tea powder with boiling water.
Adding Kratom powder to a rolling boil is going to destroy a lot of the powders natural alkaloid content, and that is the main benefit of using Kratom. Instead, allow boiling water to cool for a minute before you start the brewing steps or add the powder when the water is just starting to simmer instead of boil. Trust us on this one!
• Try adding citrus juice.
It’s been suggested that adding something acidic such as the juice of a lemon to your tea will help to keep the alkaloids from being released during the brewing process. Doing this regularly will keep your tea brewing more consistent between batches.
• Only keep your tea for up to five days.
It can be tempting to try to brew a huge batch of Kratom tea to last you for a few weeks, but the simple truth is that the powers of the Kratom will not be able to stand up to that long in the refrigerator. Instead, plan only in five-day batches.

• Longer gets stronger.
The longer you boil your Kratom tea, the stronger the flavor will become. Kratom is naturally quite bitter, so keep this in mind as you experiment with your tea taste.
• Everyone’s body differs.
While we suggest that everyone start with no more than one or two grams of Kratom tea powder per cup, everyone’s body is different. You will need to monitor your body’s reactions to Kratom to determine the best serving size for your body.

Method #1: In A Pot

Making Kratom tea in a pot on the stove is a great way to make a larger batch that you can share with friends or store for up to five days in the refrigerator to enjoy later. It’s pretty easy to do as well!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Large pot
• 1 liter of water
• Kratom tea powder
• Cheesecloth or a mesh strainer

Here’s what to do to prepare your tea:

1. Put the water in the pot and boil it.

2. Lower the heat and allow it to cool down from the boil for at least two minutes.

3. Add the appropriate amount of Kratom tea powder or leaves for your own needs to the water.

4. Simmer for up to 20 minutes. Adjust the length according to your personal taste and needs.

5. After simmering, use either the cheesecloth or mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves.

6. If you were using a powder, allow the powder to settle to the bottom and then pour off the liquid that settles on top.

Once you have this tea concentrate ready, you can then prepare yourself a cup of tea! We recommend mixing the tea with a citrus juice or adding a sweetener like honey, agave, or maple syrup to the tea to drink it. Of course, the taste of Kratom is quite powerful. Chugging it is going to be easier than trying to sip it!

Method #2: Tea Pot

Like standard teas, you can make Kratom tea from powder or leaves in a teapot as well. This is a great method when you want to enjoy it immediately and don’t need to make a large batch that can be used for a few days.

Overall, this method is probably the simplest to do, but it doesn’t differ much from the large batch method except in the container that you use to boil the tea.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Teapot
• Water
• Kratom tea powder or leaves
• Tea bags or a mesh tea strainer

And here’s what to do:

1. Add the wanted amount of Kratom tea powder or leave into a tea bag or mesh strainer. If using a strainer, we recommend sticking to Kratom tea leaves for a cleaner final product.

2. Boil water in your teapot. Allow it to cool off slightly.

3. Put your tea bag or mesh strainer into your mug.

4. Add water.

5. Steep for anywhere from five to twenty minutes depending on the strain, your taste, and your patience! Ultimately, you can stop it whenever you want.

Adding a slice of lemon and some sugar or honey to tea prepared this way is a great way to improve the flavor of your mug of Kratom tea. If you would prefer to have this iced, add any desired sweeteners to the tea while hot. Then, pour the tea over ice or store it in the fridge overnight to enjoy the next day!

Kratom Tea: Variety Is The Speciality

These are just the two most common ways that people prepare Kratom tea. There are, of course, other ways that you can go about making tea, but we’ve found that these are the most straightforward and effective ways of brewing, especially for those who are new to the world of Kratom.

Remember that your creativity can be explored when making Kratom tea and trying different products. By altering which strain, serving sizes, sweeteners, and brewing method you use, you’ll be able to try Kratom tea in many different ways. Explore these ways to see which type of tea you like the most!
