How to make Blue Lotus tea?

[foxydinosaur97]

I just came across a good amount of dried blue lotus. I've been looking around and found that you can smoke it, make it into wine, or use it in tea. I only have a microwave and dont own a stove top or anything to boil anything on. Does anyone know a method of making some kind of blue lotus drink without boiling water?

Or has anyone tried smoking it? What are the effects like?

smoking it "isnt bad" for you why not try it out and report back?
random searches come back with vivid dreams and mild sedation nothing to crazy

heat the water first and then add the lotus to it?

Take a coffee filter, put your blue lotus into it, tie it off with a string like a tea bag and steep in hot water.

Smoking anything is bad for you. Lotus is no worse than smoking anything else as far as I know. It's not a super strong plant, so you may have to smoke/drink a lot, but it certainly has noticeable effects once you reach a certain level. For me, it was mildly relaxing and enhanced mood, that was about it.

There are very few plants you can smoke and get a strong effect. Think about the plants humans smoke for recreation, there are not many of them because it takes a specific compound to have an effect though inhalation. A lot of plants can be brewed into a tea that will have a mild effect, that would otherwise be destroyed by attempting to vaporize it. For this reason I would try to make a tea before i tried to smoke anything.

Good luck

I tried smoking it last night and it had a very mild sedation and it didn't last very long. I tried adding some weed to it later and got really good effects. It kind of enhanced it a little bit I guess.

I haven't tried the tea yet I'll try that next! I also tried putting some in a glass of wine and I'm going to leave it for a week like some other people said on other sites.
