I've made quite a bit of poppy seed tea but haven't touched it in about a week. It's not been refrigerated (others in my family will throw it out unknowingly, as they have done before) and is now a bit gross. The liquid has bits that are separated and sticking to the side of the plastic container. I'm wondering if these are bits of morphine, codeine, or some other alkaloid and if there is a way to get them out and use them directly. Or would the alkaloids stick to the bottom such that I could drink them out with the straw.
I can throw this batch out if it is too nasty, but this situation has me wondering if there is a simple way to extract the alkaloids from the tea. For example, if I boil the tea for a while, will alkaloids remain in the pot? It would be great if I could extract the alkaloids so that I don't have to drink the tea and also to have a sense for how potent the poppy seeds are.
Note that I only have poppy seeds and no other parts of the plant such as the pods.
Thanks and appreciate any information!
