Poppy seed teas

[shoestring]

Hello.
I read a nice thread about how to make poppy tea from two bottles; one with holes in the lid and the other to add a pound of seed and 500ml of juice to then shake 20 minutes then drain and enjoy. I can't remember who or where I found this thread???
I just prepared a pound of tea like this but it only yielded 300ml of tea. So, I'm now doing a second round of tea from the same seeds. I bought my seeds in a one pound bag at a CO-OP Health Food store for <no prices please, thank you>.
Did I do something wrong here with my preparation of the tea? (Thanks, guys)!

Put seeds in bottle, fill with cold water (you can add a little lemon juice for placebo). Shake for 2-3 minutes. Drain. The gatorade/juice containers work (the lids are actually interchangeable). Nail about 10 small holes into the lid. (You need 2 lids-- 1 for shaking, 1 for draining).

Second wash (for the fiends). fill bottle of seeds. shake for 2 minutes, drain.

Drink.

Don't allow the seeds to sit in the water for longer than 5 minutes the faster you shake and drain the better. The seeds absorb the water. The morphine/codeine is on the outside of the seed not the inside so you just want to wash the seeds really quick.

There is actually a few other threads that address this. But I think my method is the best so .

Also some seeds are washed (meaning the company that is selling them did what I just explained) before they are distributed to the stores so that may be the reason as well.

There's also some good PST discussion in AusDD iirc

Lucky OP, nobody responded to my PST thread lol (except Tommyboy thanks!). Just 1 thing, apparently instead of making the holes in the lid it also apparently works well to unscrew it slightly and drain the liquid like that. Seems faster possibly.

Anyways, I was trying to figure out ways you can stand a better chance of getting good seeds.

As I am also going to be testing this shortly basically contacted like 20 places and im just gonna get every different batch I can find.
Seems the only way to find good product. Also apparently trying to get organic seeds or seeds from an organic / health food store could be best.

The next step could be a visual review of all the batches you purchased as apparently the better unwashed seeds are more milky blue with plant some matter and the washed ones are more dark blue/black (all of this apparently, not done this yet)

In that way get the best stuff the fastest. If i have to try new batches for multiple days of disappointment I will freak the fuck out.
This seems the fastest way to success.

Oh and im in a country where pods (better results) aren't easily bought online but i have tried flower supply stores, craft stores nurseries etc to hopefully I will get lucky with emailing like 100 places.
