Kratom and Lemonade! Kratom as a Summer Beverage
When Summer comes around, it’s time to relax, enjoy life and all it has to offer. And there’s no more refreshing, Summery drink than a glass of ice cold, delicious lemonade!
But for the kratom lover, there’s an even more delightful option: kratom lemonade.
This tasty beverage brings out all the best from your kratom experience with the crisp, refreshing delight of the timeless lemonade flavor. It’s a perfect package and an ideal option for enjoying kratom on those sunny Summer days.
What Does Kratom Lemonade Taste Like?
The taste of kratom lemonade depends on how the lemonade is made. Some will have an overwhelming earthy taste like raw kratom powder, but that’s not the type of kratom lemonade we recommend!
Other kratom lemonade recipes, like the one we offer below, will barely even have a hint of kratom flavor. Instead, they’ll taste almost identical to the classic lemonade taste you know and love.
That’s because there are two key ways that kratom lemonade can be made:
- Kratom powder can be mixed directly into a traditional lemonade. But because kratom doesn’t dissolve in water (or lemonade),this method results in a thick, gritty, even sludgey mix that will taste very much like the kratom it’s made from.
- Alternatively, kratom’s alkaloids can be extracted, infused into water, and then turned into lemonade. This is the method that we recommend, as it results in a smooth, crisp, and delicious kratom lemonade with no kratom particulate.
So what’s the secret to making the perfect kratom lemonade? We’re glad you asked.
Making The Perfect Kratom Lemonade
To make your kratom lemonade as enjoyable as possible, we’re going to do something fun!
Instead of just mixing kratom powder into lemonade, we’re first going to make some kratom-infused simple syrup. Combined with fresh lemon juice, it’s the perfect way to make a delicious, home-made batch of crisp and refreshing kratom lemonade!
What You’ll Need:
- Water
- Lemons or lemon juice
- Your preferred strain of kratom powder
- Coffee filters
- Sugar
Kratom Base Brewing Instructions:
- Add water to a saucepan. Use about half as much water as the amount of lemonade you’re hoping to brew, and note the amount of water you used for later. Bring it just to a boil, then reduce to a simmer
- For every 2 cups of water used, add about 2tbsp of lemon juice to the water
- Ensure that the water is simmering and not boiling. Then, add your intended dose of kratom powder
- Keep the mixture simmering for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring regularly
- Remove the sauce-pan from the heat source, then carefully strain the liquid through your coffee filter to remove the kratom sediment. The result is a simple kratom extract that we’ll use again in a moment
- However much water you used in the first step, measure out an equal amount of sugar
- Add the kratom extract liquid and the measured sugar back into your saucepan, then cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved
- Remove from heat, then add an amount of lemon juice equal to the amount of water you initially used
- Chill your lemonade, taste, and add water if necessary to dilute. Then serve and enjoy!
