Kratom, also known as Mitragyna Speciosa, is quickly making its place as a popular beneficial botanical in everyone’s daily life. Whether you go to a gas station store or vape shop, you can easily find good quality Kratom powder stocked on shelves even some health shops have it stored these days.

One good thing about Kratom is the various forms it’s available in. Be it powder, tablets, capsules or extracts, you name it and you will have it. You can easily pick a form that suits you the best. Out of the many forms, Kratom powder is the most popular and commonly used. It is extremely affordable than the other forms and easily available for the customers to grab some. 

However, despite the countless benefits of powdered Kratom, one thing that can get up anyone’s nose is the taste. Just like many herbal products, Kratom too has a very bitter and almost unpalatable taste, which makes it hard for users to ingest. 

In this article, we will be discussing how you can take powdered Kratom in the most palatable ways.

Let’s dig in!

Is It Difficult To Take Powdered Kratom?

Yes, the bitter taste of Kratom makes it hard to ingest. Its bad taste can force you to gulp several glasses of water or some juice to neutralize the taste.

Moreover, its dry texture can also make the users choke. This way, it causes nausea and vomiting that can be an unpleasant experience for most. 

Another reason for its dislike is the inconvenience of the mess it usually makes. No one likes to clean the spillovers that usually happen with powdery stuff.

Regardless of all these drawbacks, powdered Kratom is still the most commonly used herbal form. The reason behind is that it’s quite cheaper in comparison to the other forms of this botanical. Furthermore, it’s easily available in the market for the grabs. With its longer shelf life, you can also store it for a longer period of time making it convenient to buy in bulk. Additionally, you can measure your dosages with more accuracy and control how much you need to take for best effects.

Interestingly, people who are fond of black coffee or dark chocolate usually find it easy to enjoy the taste of this botanical as it is and only need some water to ingest this all natural herbal powder. 

How Can You Use Kratom Powder?

Kratom powder is cost-effective and easy to procure, which makes it all the more important to either acquire the taste of it or mask the taste for easy consumption. There are a number of ways that can help you ingest the herbal powder without suffering from any adverse consequences like nausea and vomiting. You can either toss and wash with water or mix it up in some flavoured juice or you can even make your own Kratom capsules with some loose powder.

Here are some amazing methods to take powdered Kratom that can make your experience all the more amazing:

Do Simple And Easy Toss And Wash

This is the most common and simplest method of taking Kratom powder out there. All you need to do is take a large glass of water and your desired Kratom powder scooped into a spoon. Place the powder on the last part of the tongue, near the throat and take gulps of water to wash it down. Make sure to swirl the water around to make sure of getting rid of any residual powder in the mouth. Be cautious in not swallowing the dry powder directly as you can choke on it that might result in nausea and vomiting.

Although it’s a simple method, it is still not as easy as you can feel the bitter taste of the raw Kratom powder. It is best recommended to place the powder at the back of the throat, so it gets swallowed quickly with water. Also, make sure to take your dose in a small spoon at a time to wash it down easily. Moreover, you can also replace water with any other kind of beverage like orange juice, apple juice, etc.

Brew Your Own Kratom Tea

People who prefer hot beverages love this method of using herbal powder. Kratom Tea is a decades-old method that is used by people all over the world -especially, in southeast asia. Farmers and labourers used to drink this all natural herbal tea to get rid of routine tiredness and increase their energy and focus.

Kratom tea is extremely popular in the community because of the obvious reasons. It tastes great, you can easily mask the bitter powder taste, you can use absolutely any strain of Kratom to brew in tea, and most importantly alkaloid concentration gets better when infused with tea.

Here is how you can make your Kratom tea:

• Take a large pot or metallic container and pour 2-3 cups of water in it. 
• Scoop your desired Kratom dosage in a spoon and mix the powder in the hot water. You can either place the powder first in a cup and then pour water over it or mix the powder directly in the pot. Though, make sure to stir the powder thoroughly to not leave any clumps behind. 
• Now, let the tea sit for a few minutes so that any residues can settle down at the bottom of the cup or glass. 
• You can add lemon, honey or sugar in your Kratom tea for added flavour. Also, brewing it with your favourite tea can also work like magic. 

Drink It Up With Beverages

Taking Kratom powder with drinks of several kinds is also a common and extremely effective method. Kratom mocktails are pretty famous among the herbal community.

The best way to do it is to make a really thick and flavourful juice like apple juice, peach juice or some smoothie like a banana smoothie that can readily cover up the natural taste of Kratom powder. Take your drink in two cups and mix the Kratom powder in only one. You can even use a blender or coffee frother to mix the powder finely in the drink. Firstly, drink the juice with Kratom powder in it and then take the second cup and drink it up slowly with swirls and swishes to make sure to not leave any powder behind. 

Make Your Own Kratom Capsules At Home

Kratom capsules are the best way to take kratom powder. There is no bitter taste, and no chance of spillage, and Mitragyna powder is pre-measured according to the dosage required. 

One downside to Kratom capsules is that they are a bit more expensive than loose Kratom powder. However, the good thing is that you can make your own Kratom capsules right at your own home. It might not be a walk in the park, but with some focus and leisure time, you can definitely do it.

You can buy capsule shells to fill them up with powdered Kratom. Just get your hands on a good scale for measuring Kratom doses or get the spoons to measure accurately. Either way, you will have your desired doses right. 

Now, all you need to do is fill up both the parts of capsules with powder and then insert them into each other to make up a whole capsule. In a small amount of time, you can make many kratom capsules. It is best to take some time out and finish up the batch in one go for a whole month to enjoy your herbal powder any time. 

There are capsules available in various sizes. The smallest size 000 can hold Kratom powder up to 1 gram. Though, it’s recommended to use larger capsules so one is enough to be filled with your whole dosage. This way, you will only need to swallow one capsule at a time and you will be good to go. 

Moreover, if you don’t have the time and energy to spend on making Kratom capsules, you can buy an automatic capsule making machine. There are a lot of affordable options online and in the market also. 

Take Your Powdered Kratom With Food

Kratom users are frequently worried over whether adding Kratom in food reduces its effectiveness or not.

Well, that’s not the case. Mixing Kratom powder in food is a great way to use it, as food can easily mask its taste without messing with its efficacy. There are a number of tasty recipes out there on the internet. 

Here are some as a treat to your taste buds:

• To cover up the bitter taste and chalky texture of Kratom, you can make Kratom chocolate candies at home. Just take some cocoa powder, coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and your desired amount of Kratom strain powder. Simmer all of these contents in low heat in a pan, pour it in a candy mold, and let it cool down. Now, enjoy your kratom powder as a tasty treat.

• Another delicious recipe to add your powdered Kratom into is honey balls. You will need honey, Kratom powder, a mixing bowl, and a parchment paper. Take Mitragyna powder in a bowl and add some honey till it becomes a thick crumbly paste. Now, pour the mixture on the parchment paper and roll it out in a cylinder shape. Let it cool in the refrigerator for some time. Now, after removing the parchment paper, cut the cylinder in small pieces according to your required Kratom dosage.

• Kratom yogurt is another delicacy that is not only healthy, but also really easy to make. All you need is your favourite flavoured yogurt and accurately measured dose of Speciosa powder. Stir the powder in the yogurt till it mixes finely. You can also take plain yogurt and add some fruit puree like mango or strawberry in it, in case flavoured yogurt isn’t available. 

How To Measure Kratom Powder With Accuracy?

There are some serious consequences to taking extra Kratom you should. That’s the reason that you must know how to measure Kratom powder accurately.

To measure it at home, you will need a measuring scale. It’s best to invest in a good digital scale that can check up to two decimals as it will be the most accurate. 

In case you don’t want to spend extra bucks on the scale, you can also use spoons. Howbeit, just make sure to use standard spoons.
