How to Brew Kratom Herbal Tea

Traditionally, brewing kratom leaves with hot water into a kratom herbal tea was one of the more popular ways to enjoy kratom. In fact, kratom herbal teas are still the preferred way to enjoy this superfood. Although tea is a popular way to enjoy kratom, one common question we get is whether you affect the amount of alkaloids in the kratom herbal tea by adding hot water to the leaves.

Steeping herbs and plants in hot water is a common method to extract alkaloids, flavonoids, and other desirable compounds. When it comes to kratom leaves, using boiling water is a good way to extract the alkaloids. While boiling water will NOT destroy the alkaloids, the average steeping of kratom leaves will not extract ALL the alkaloids. Therefore, if you want to extract as many of the alkaloids as reasonably possible, we recommend pre-soaking the dried leaves in a weak acid such as lemon juice or adding pure lemon or other citrus directly into your tea.
