Help making Poppy tea

camMyco · 10-21-07, 10:21

I recently tried arranging Poppy's for the first time last night.

I started with two large pods, crushed flat and chopped as best I could. My grinder is in storage.

I put the two pod grounds in water and brought to a boil for twenty mins. I turned off the heat and let it steep for another twenty. I used 1.5 cups H2O

I strained the brew, and drank it. after 30 min. with little no effect I repeated the process with 3 pods and 2 cups H2O and split with wifey. still little to no effect.

This morning I could feel some residual opiate effect. am I using the wrong arranging tek?

These pods came from a highly respected sponsor, so their quality is not in question, just my technique.

Got recipes?

I would suggest doing a "slow roll" boil for an hour. Strain, then evap the water out of the tea in a glass baking dish or something..then scrape up with a razor. You can roll that stuff into balls and drop it into hot water to dissolve or just eat a pill of it..I weigh 175 lbs and 1.5-2 grams of it do the job quite well. I rarely indulge(2-3 times a month) so my tolerance isn't real high.

I read at another poppy forum that you don't want your temp to go over 170 you lose the goodies also it took me at least 8 decent pods for a good veiwing try simmering I aslo only had to simmer 15 min.

8 pods would kill me! I am sure of it.

phishslayer · 10-21-07, 10:56

Maybe I should clarify I've got a bit of a hard head and like the itch. I was in no way recommending 8 start low and work up.

I think it's essential to finely grind the pod for a reasonably fast extract..I also try to minimize any boiling + add vitamin C ..Let steep 30 mins at least...

'working up'
is extremely bad advice
considering that we're speaking of
a highly addictive potentially lethal drug.
start low and stay low.

Point taken, I mean to work up to the desired effect I no longer arrange couldn't find a way to mask the straw taste even with lemon and honey.Plus I just like it to much.

hot chocolate covers the taste pretty well. for a couple of pods anyway.

when i was into making tea from pods i liked this recipe:

1 - get some water boiling
2 - add the juice of one medium lemon to a MEASURED amount of finely ground pod powder (do not measure by pods!) and stir it around some to moisten the powder.
3 - add about 1.5 cups of boiling water to the pod/lemon juice mix and stir well.
4 - allow to steep for at least 30 minutes
5 - strain the mix (i used a clean white sock) into whatever you will drink it from.
6 - slam it, the taste is bad.

always measure the powder either by weight or volume.
start low, and wait at least an hour before drinking more as it takes about an hour to get the full effect. save the used powder, about 3 portions of used powder will equal one dose. don't use 2 days in a row or soon you will have a monkey on your back that tarzan couldn't call off.
be careful, it will only take a few od's and this wonderful product will be declared illegal

Thanks all, Luckly I am a hard head. Still wise enough to always start low and be aware of effects before increasing the dosage of a potentially "killer" arrangment.

I was dissapointed with little to no effect of a three pod arrangement.
I have also meet that monkey. We afe old friends.

How's that song go R-e-s-p-e-c-t?

i love the tea...i drink it straight up..kinda tastrs like how old gym socks smell...but after a while you learn to love everybit of the experience..i personally use 8 pods at least....you can also use the microwave for the quickest results if your in a hurry..

I read this tek somewhere, and it works well for me. Take desired amount of pods and finely grind them. Bring your water to a boil, dump in the grinds and immediately take it off of the burner. Let sit and cool while stirring occaisionally. DO NOT CONTINUE TO BOIL. The idea is to scorch the pods. I've used this tek multiple times with great success. The grinds can be used over again for a weaker arrangement using a slow simmer method. Good luck.

Mermaidia · 12-16-07, 23:47

Hey Cam, I wouldn't boil it at all. Just my opinion. I only simmer the brew for 20 to 30 minutes, strain then repeat the process again with 1/2 the amount of water i started with. (usually 1 1/4 cup to start). I like to add sugar and cinnamon to it also.
Hope this helps and remember to respect the pod.
