My Drink Suggestion

Post by Hamsamick »

I was using Orange Juice, and it got expensive quick, so just for the heck of it i grabbed a cheap gallon of watered down orange drink from a dollar store, less than two bucks. And i started using a insulated thermos, mixing gets annoying and endless. And the drink is cold when i'm done.
Shaking is definitely the way to go....a good 5 minutes / teaspoon. No matter what you do, Kratom is hard to break down.
But this makes a drink i've actually come to like without that nasty Kratom taste, and cheap as well.
Mix to taste i guess.
:D

I just dump it into an inch or two of very warm water/hot, stir, add a bit of cold and toss it back. It mixes very easily in warm water.

I mix my 3oz of cheap sunny d knockoff juice in an empty 20oz gatorade bottle with my dose. I shake mine for like 5seconds and it's fine. 5 minutes per teaspoon? Yikes, sounds like a very frothy hard to drink mess. Also, get a scale.

Yeah, that's pretty much what i'm talking about...a watered down version of sunny d. And it's like $1.80/gallon. I was using a bottle for a while, but it got warm from shaking. I have no idea how you shake for 5 seconds and it's not like sand. lol. It gets frothy from the way i do it. but it settles quickly. At the end there's no pile of kratom froth like i had with tea.
And yes, i got a digital scale with my first purchase. $20 to learn a teaspoon is 2 grams lol. I go light on good days, and a heavy spoon for bad days. (chronic pain)

Thanks for the replies folks!

Hey Ham, that teaspoon is 2 grams only -some- of the time. Various batches have varying grinds, and therefore varying densities. If you're using more than one one strain, or even more than one batch of the same strain, you're going to want to verify the weight of it before you conclude it's always 2 grams per teaspoon, because it really isn't. For example, I have one strain that always surprises me because it's twice as heavy as anything else I have, and when I'm spooning it onto the scale I always have to take half of it off again because I forget it's just that much heavier than everything else, and there are a couple more that run heavy as well. A couple of strains I have also run light. So I always, -always- weigh: I can really get my dose dialed in perfectly that way.

Just so you know. :D

Sand? That's weird, mine blends in for the most part. Is yours a coarser grind?
But I don't taste any texture, it's only in my mouth for a half second (that's what she said) and then immediately chased with regular juice. I taste literally nothing but the juice. It takes practice to get it right; it'd be hopeless trying to describe the exact technique.
