How to Prepare Kratom: Three Ways
Kratom starts off as the leaves of a tree that grows in Southeast Asia. Once harvested and dried, these leaves can be consumed in multiple ways. Here are our top three ways to prepare kratom.
(1) Kratom Tea
Loose leaf kratom is perhaps the oldest form of using kratom. Ancient peoples used to dry and crush the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree. Then, they'd chew it raw or brew it into a potent tea.
Today, many companies sell crushed leaf kratom. While you can chew crushed leaf kratom, we recommend making kratom tea instead.
To make kratom tea, simply place crushed leaf kratom into near-boiling water. Wait 20 minutes before straining out the leaves. You can then add flavorings like sugar, honey, or even a flavored syrup to mask strains with a naturally bitter flavor.
(2) Kratom Powder
Loose leaf kratom may be the oldest form of using this supplement but kratom powder is by far the most popular. Kratom powder is typically less expensive. It's also extremely versatile.
With kratom powder, you can:
- Add it to food
- Brew it into tea
- Mix up a kratom "shot"

Interesting
Thank you for this information since I am just hearing about this supplement.
I add Kratom to my morning oatmeal or yogurt by sprinkling a small amount on top of each spoonful and continue to add it until I have taken the desired amount. This hides the Kratom flavor and is easy to swallow. Kratom has truly changed my mobility and energy. I now have the desire, energy and ability to play with my grandchildren, i.e.. roller skating, playing on the trampoline (within reason), bike riding, etc. After back surgery, these would never have been an option. I would have only been a “spectator”, although there is nothing wrong with that, I just prefer to participate as much as possible. Kratom has made this possible!
Additionally, my Primary Care Physician, an Internal Medicine Specialist, has even given his approval. He indicated that he did not see any conflicting issues with my other medications.
Kratom has improved my energy, elimination of pain and quality of life. Thank you Kratom Trading Company!
